You think???

I had my second first thing this morning and my arm just started hurting when I stretched. Ah well. Mustn't stretch then.

Yes my heart was definitely twitchy the day after my first jab. Hope the second is less so.

What jab did you have? I have had both pfizer jabs now - the last one just over 3 weeks ago and fine with both just a very slightly sore arm for a very short while with the first one but I think that was because I laid on my arm that night.

I had masses of ectopics in the days after my second AZ jab but no sore arm or other effects.

I have permanent AF so don't usually notice anything, but after the AZ vaccine 2 weeks ago I could feel my heart hammering away for about 48 hours! I also kept feeling as if I was going to faint. Luckily it seems to have gone back to normal now.

Yes I had my first jab on the Saturday January and by Monday I was in full AF and very high tachycardia. It took a month of hospital/change of meds before it settled. However my second jab in April all was perfect so I honestly don’t know if it was coincidence as I had been getting a a lot of afib and tachycardia in DecemberOurs was Pfizer but I’m sure all will be well for you as I believe not many people get side effects from that one

All the best

I have had my first jab (Pfizer). All was fine except a slightly sore arm the following day - nothing serious and no worries there.

Called my GP and told it will be between May 13th - June 13th until the second. TBH it can't come soon enough. I will certainly have my PIP (flec) on hand just in case. However I'm not really concerned and just want to get it done.

I'm sure you'll be fine Ethel after your second jab.

Very slightly, hardly noticed it but it was there. Got my 2nd jab next week AZ.

I had my second Pfizer shot on a Wednesday and had a very sore arm the day after. The following Friday, my Afib started going off, and after I got it to settle down, I felt like I got hit by a mac truck and immediately felt exhausted! I had to stop what I was doing and go lay down on the sofa to rest. My Afib episodes lasted for about a week so I went to see my cadio and he stated that some of his other patients had similar reactions. He changed up how I was taking my metoprolol meds ( (1) 25mil tab daily) to 1/2 tab in morning and the other half in evening and that seemed to do the job; my AF is back to normal today. Living with AF is no picnic, but you learn to adapt to it's many up's and down's. I hope yours will settle down soon. BTW, I am 71 years old and I was diagnosed with AF when I was about 30 years old, and I'm still kicking.😜
