Anyone had headaches post Vaccine !?

I had my first Pfizer vaccine last week(wed)
A day later I had the usual sore arm etc that's went away but the very next day I had a banging headache , which went away with painkillers. But every day since I've had this dull headache lingering on. It's been 6 days and still hasn't shifted ! It comes and goes. Is this normal ? Contacted 111 as have anxiety and waiting on call back. I've had no other symptoms. I've never been headache person so im putting it down to the vaccine. It does go with painkillers and I'm still able to do school run housework etc I'm just wondering if anyone else has experienced this ? Xx

Not a traditional headache but I did have this weird feeling as though something was squeezing my brain - lasted a day or two, not major pain in any way but very weird feeling that I have not had before. For me the most worrying thing after jab 1 was the short stabs of pain in my heart area that happened a few days after, for a few days, but they went away.

I'm not a headache person either but I've had a low-grade headache since my second vaccine back in April.
Prior to this I never had headaches ( 1/2 a year). It's like a dull ache across the front of my head.
I live with anxiety and have done for years but these headaches only appeared in April so I don't think they are to do with stress/tension as I'd have expected to have had them before.
Coincidence? I'm not sure.

Thanks for the replies! 111 went through all the red flag questions and concluded it wasn't an emergency and that headaches are
A very common symptom of the vaccine 😖 and that I need to mention it to my gp to rule anything else out and to take pains meds.
I have a uti aswell and just feel rubbish.
I just wanna go and lie down in a dark room' I pray it gets better !
