Covid vaccination - side effects?

Hello
I had the Covid vaccine 6 days ago and still am not feeling right.
Anyone else experienced this?

I had mine on Thursday, definitely feeling less hungover today. Which one did you have?

I had the AZ yesterday and today I feel as though I've got the worst hangover!

Hoping you are feeling better soon Flowers

I had the AZ on Monday, 4am on Tuesday I had major shivers, was so cold, and had shortness of breathing. Tuesday and Wednesday would wake up feeling horrendous (stressed, exhausted, headache) but feel better towards the end of the day. Yesterday which was day 4 since vaccine, I felt sensory overload and vertigo. Today is day 5 and I woke up feeling a lot better, went for a slow walk but got vertigo again, slight nausea, and a slight headache. My body is very tired and I'm only feeling 100% when sitting down. Was hoping I'd feel okay by now.

Is it possible that you have Covid or some other illness?

Zoink · 27/02/2021 19:05

Possibly - it would definitely be a big coincidence but can't rule it out!

I had Pfizer and haven't had any side-effects at all, save for a slight ache in my arm when raising it for the first 24 hours.

It's certainly frustrating. I feel totally wiped if I so much as go for a walk or play a game with my toddler.

Same as @SpudsandGravy - I only had an ache-y arm for a few days

moonriverandme · 27/02/2021 23:11

We had the Astro Zeneca, both had sore arms, nausea, headache and generally feeling unwell. Passed in about 24 /48 hours but my arm was sore for over a week.

I had AZ on weds , no side effects just a sore arm for a day

Zoink · 01/03/2021 07:46

Day 8 and I feel normal. I did sleep until the afternoon yesterday so maybe I needed sleep to recover.

Glad you're feeling better OP!

I had my jab on Friday, was fine all day Friday but when I woke up Saturday I had what felt like an awful hangover, had shivers, headache, I just felt awful, I hardly moved the whole day.

By the time I woke up on Sunday I was back to normal, felt completely fine, so it didn't last long, maybe you're right with needing a decent sleep to recover!
