Flu Jab prior to Cardioversion ?

I have first appointment for Cardioversion Tues, next week. Should still have Flu jab? appointment is tomorrow ?

I'm not a medic but I would have thought that you would have got over any side effects by Tues. However if you feel happier why not delay your flu jab by a week or so .

I can see no reason whatsoever not to have your jab. See previous post on identical question.

It's unlikely to make any difference as Bob say's.

However a flu jab can (not always) give you a cold like symptom for a few days. Personally I would hold fire for a few days - until after your CV. The flu and covid can show the same symptoms - that's just my opinion and a flu jab will only affect you for a few days (if it does at all).

Personally I would I wait. You'll be questioned about any symptom's when you arrive for your CV. Certainly you don't want to chance having your CV put back and I think that's the most inportant one for you.

I hope it works for you.

One more thing to add. Is it your first CV ? Don't worry if it is - it's a walk in the park. I recall my first one. There's nothing to it - honest I'm not just saying that. Have you been put on flec - it makes all the difference to me. Of course we are all different.

Good luck with it - I'm sure you'll be fine whatever you decide.

Have a great day.
