Heart palpitations after booster jab

[crapatthis1]

Hi guys

Has anyone else had this? I've experienced this every night without fail since my booster on Tuesday. (Had AstraZeneca the other times)

I do have a recent history with heart palpitations a year ago after a traumatic experience but what I've felt the last few days feels different. Like my heart is stopping or swelling , then feels really hot and only when I'm literally about to fall asleep. Before it was just mild heart fluttering here and there (scary in itself).
I went to A&E last night after calling 111 as it was really quite scary, like my heart was stopping and I couldn't sleep. They did an ECG which seemed normal. I do have a 24 hour ECG booked in January.

Just wondered if anyone has had this?

@LifesABotch it started on day 2 for me. It was really horrible, I thought I had a heart attack. It felt like the strongest stitch I'd ever had but in the heart. Please everyone get seen if you are experiencing ANY chest pains following your jabs.

My son suffered badly with palpitations when he had covid and for quite a long time after. So not just solely linked to the actual vaccine x

We keep hearing about how we have a responsibility to get vaccinated and we also have the responsibility of reporting side effects.

True

At the very least it would seem wise for the government, or vaccinators, to get the message across that people should not attempt intense exercise for a while after vaccination - and after covid itself - as a precautionary measure.

I hate the whole Hobson's Choice feel of vaccination at the moment. And the government's messaging makes it sound like you are being asked to go and get your free Christmas party bag. And then if you are concerned there might be a snake in the bag, the message is that there could be a bigger snake waiting for you from Covid if you don't accept it.

Dystopian times. I hope you feel better soon OP

@Beachcomber no one is advising someone suspected of having an adverse event to keep boosting without having medical advise. there was a poster saying she was nervous about having a vaccine as she already experiences palpitations in her general life because of other reasons.

@howley1

please don't be put off unless you are having serious issues and are advised to avoid it by your gp. palpitations are entirely normal in everyone to an extent and happen for so many reasons. your body is having an immune response to the vaccine as it would ANY virus which also causes them. plus one of a hundred other reasons,from having a cup of tea to lying in a funny position, to having eaten veggies!

Yeah. Whatever.

I think your post is irresponsible nonsense.

At 43 I'd assume it's peri-menopause not necessarily the booster.
My heart was all over the place for a few years. It settled down when I hit 46.

I find this sort of comment incredibly damaging

People are reporting cardiac events here…it’s not a snotty nose or a hurting arm!

I know three men in the past 4 months who have died from heart attacks, one of them was being monitored by doctors because of palpitations after the vaccine already, but died in his sleep this week. Yes, I’m 47 so maybe my age group do start having heart attacks, but I’ve not known one person to have one before this year. I obviously can’t say it was the vaccine, but the fact there is no formal investigation is worrying. These heart issues have been swirling around right from the start. My ds was given AZ when “it was safe” for under 30s. He had a cardiac event.

It’s not a nice topic but informed consent has always been a problem for many people and these events show we do not really have anywhere near informed consent. It truly is a giant experiment,

And yes, it is an experiment. There isn’t even an agreed regimen of how many doses people need, which by definition is experimental.

How frightening ! Hope you're feeling much better now. I am absolutely pro-vaccination, but have to admit my experience (which persists weeks after the booster) has shaken me.
Yes to having any chest pain checked out! Better safe than sorry.

To the people saying it's could be anxiety, caffeine, alcohol, perimenopause etc - technically you're not wrong. I have had palpitations/missed beats this year post-vaccine and ongoing and I have considered all those possible causes because I am not a panicker. However I do think people know their bodies and my feeling is that my body has not been quite the same since the vaccines. I am staunchly pro-vax but that doesn't mean I can't tune into things that have changed. It's interesting to hear I am not the only one having these symptoms and also linking them to the vaccine.

@IroningBoardz

I also developed an arrhythmia after my vaccines and had a cardiology referral etc, I am now on medication for it.

Hope you're ok now you're on medication, but what a shame it happened in the first place.

What an irresponsible comment to make. Sorry, but this is not normal at all. A vaccine should not adjust the beating of your heart and cause palpitations which are ongoing for any, causing them to take medication and resulting in pericarditis / myocarditis. Anyone experiencing these issues no matter if they have come on as a result of the vaccine or genuine stress and anxiety should get them checked out. It's people like you who are trying to normalise this and medically gaslight people into thinking it's normal when it's really not.

@WineGetsMeThroughIt you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about and clearly can't can't be bothered to READ.
The poster was under medical care .. already knew the cause of her palpitations and has not been advised to avold the vaccine by her personal medical advisor.
If you're against actual medical advice which, is that it is proven to be significantly safer for people with the majority of cardiac issues to be vaccinated than take the MUCH larger cardiac risk of getting covid whilst unvaccinated you are spreading dangerous misinformation.

This is completely irresponsible advice

This is how I feel. I've decided to speak to my oncologist before I proceed. It's too much of a risk for me not to.

@Blubells listening to medical professionals is irresponsible? I'd love to hear who you think they should be listening to Instead?

I wasn't referring specifically to the OP, but everyone who has experienced heart issues. You can't just think it's normal

Sorry but I don't think you have a clue what you are talking about.

I don't think anyone has much of a handle on the subject to be frank. And that includes the manufacturers and the government medical advisors.

Do you have any data on cardiac events brought on by infection with sarscov2?

We know that cardiac events are associated with the vaccines. It is documented and official.

We shouldn't be brushing that under the carpet with vague unsubstantiated claims about higher levels of cardiac events being associated with viral infection.

It's dangerous misinformation and gaslighting.

@WineGetsMeThroughIt experiencing palpation to some degree is completely normal yes. I'd suggest you would struggle to find someone by the age of 40 who has never had them or of they wore a trace, didn't have the occasional extra beat. If it's happening frequently or unusually for you; u get checked out and unless your medical advice is to avoid the vaccine , you take it.

@Beachcomber yes there's a lot of published data showing covid causes significantly more cardiac events than anything that can be attributed to a vaccine, which is why the rollout continues worldwide and why vulnerable people with cardiac issues are actively offered additional doses.

@blablablack

Don't mean to scare you but my friends husband had a heart attack and the doctors said it was caused by the vaccine. I was so shocked.

It has not put me off though I've just had my booster. My friend only had her first vaccine and didn't go bk for the second as she's too scared now.

And how exactly would the doctors know what caused the heart attack? Having one when you’ve had the vaccine could most likely be coincidental. Vaccines don’t cause heart attacks!
