I'm due Pifzer jab 2 in two weeks time, but I'm still suffering from dizziness, palpitations slowness and headaches from the first that I had 3 weeks ago. If anyone was like this, did the second make it worse or better?

After my first I was so ill. Every muscle in my whole body was agony, shivers and horrendous nausea for 4 days but with my second (was on Saturday just gone) I’ve had no reaction at all, nothing, not even a sore arm.

The second was like nothing, I was fine, even though I'd been really ill with the first.

Hi OP how are you feeling now? I had my 1st Pfizer jab on Tuesday night and I'm still not feeling great. I have trouble with blocked tubes in my ears so i have been feeling extra dizzy and also sometimes i feel like my heart is racing. I feel so tired and my whole body aches.

@TSJ1P headaches and tiredness have finally gone, heart racing less too. Had a moment of dizziness yesterday but so far so good today. I hope you feel better soon, I found drinking plenty of water helped a bit.

Fine after 2nd Pfizer.
After my 1st I got really swollen glands in my neck, throat, behind my ears etc, I was in agony for about 2 weeks before they settled back down.

I felt awful after my first one - but fine after the second although my arm hurt more the second time!

TSJ19 · 26/06/2021 16:47

I'm glad you are starting to feel better. I will make sure i am drinking plenty. I have moments where i think I'm starting to feel better and then i feel rubbish again.

Not to bad after first, second was worse. But totally OK for a day sitting on the TV watching TV, not a taking-to-my-bed situation or anything like that. Just a quiet sofa day with a couple of paracetamol (which actually gave a dramatic improvement).
