Really struggling still 4 days post 2nd AZ jab

Has anyone else felt like this after their 2nd?
I'm usually a fit and healthy 27 year old but I'm seriously struggling to catch my breath and have awful chest pressure along with a headache that just won't shift.

I did end up in A&E (after a 111 call) at the weekend but they discharged me home (even though my oxygen stats were recorded at 93 and heart rate was at 100) after chest xray was clear and ecg traces weren't too bad. I still feel awful this morning. I just can't seem to do anything without feeling like my chest is going to implode and I cannot get enough air into my lungs.

Gosh that’s awful
I would go back
Don’t mess about

Contact 111 or go straight to A&E. I wouldn't mess around. Better they send you on your way again than you not seek help. Good luck.

A&E immediately. Any chest pain and you need to act fast. I didn’t think AZ was given to people in their 20’s.

Have you had a covid test?
Those all sound like symptoms of anxiety? Have you been particularly stressed?

Thanks everyone, just hate to feel like I'm wasting their time if they've already seen me at the weekend.

I've had the AZ vaccine as I had my first dose prior the blood clot concerns and so the recommendation is to have the 2nd dose.

I'll give 111 a call in a bit if I can't get it under control.

@Hax it feels very similar to when I'm about to have a panic attack, physically, but not remotely like how I feel mentally. I've been in a really good place for a while now and certainly have no stresses in my life.
