Excessive hunger after second astrazeneca jab

I had my second jab a few days ago and had a sore arm which is going away now. I've been feeling weak and tired and now extremely hungry. I don't normally eat that much and I low carb due to pre diabetes, but I'm just so hungry. I've been drinking more fluids as well, lots of tea and soda water.

Anybody else had this?

Yes, all week since, now you mention it. Hadn't thought there might be a connection. But I normally have 1 or 2 takeaway nights a week.

I've had six in the nine days since the vaccine. Blush

Have been wondering what's got into me - hope it's rational to blame the vaccine because I now intend to Grin

Weirdly, my mum had this excessive hunger when she was recovering from Covid

Weird isn't it. I even made proper chips tonight which I haven't done in 20 years 😱

I hope it stops because I need to lose weight, but I could hardly move due to weakness which was relieved by eating.
