Had my booster on 3rd November, Pfizer, original vaccines Astra zenica with no after effects! Spent 10 hours in A&E on Tuesday with symptoms of heart attack, thankfully it wasn’t! Had lots of dizziness and nausea, still getting the dizziness and nausea, (vertigo?). Anyone else had the same?

I had the same types of jabs and I was a bit rough for a few hours but my wife felt sick and was quite ill for a couple of days after her booster jab.
Hi sue.
My mother in law has been suffering with vertigo since her first jab months ago. It’s been coming and going since. She can’t do anything while it’s happening and has fallen over several times because of it.
Docs are trying to figure out how to counteract it but no luck so far.
Good luck 👍
That’s interesting, thanks!
Sorry not a more positive message but atleast something you can look into. Apparently it’s fairly common according to the mother in law 👍
Hi Ellie86 take look at the "Epley manoover"my gp did it for me and I got great improvement.Best wishes to your mil.😀
That worked for me too!!

I very much doubt you can blame the jab for that. Any bad effects usually start very early not two weeks later. Pfizer seems to have very few problems anyway. Reminds me of viral labrynthitis (ear infection) I had some years ago and still get occasional flare ups.
Several people have said after effects have started 2-3 weeks after booster, hospital didn’t think it was my ears! Pain is all on side where jab was! If you look on the yellow card, there are quite a few side effects!
Mother in laws issues with vertigo were not instant just so you know. Started few weeks later and the docs at the hospital told her it is something they’re seeing reasonably often as a side effect to the jab 👍
Thanks, That is very interesting, looking at the yellow card, seems to be quite a few side effects!
Really pleased that the docs are acknowledging this is happening, we would rather know the side effects and deal with it rather than thinking it's "all in the mind". My husband can't have his second vaccine as his side effects were so severe, don't think they know what to do with him, they won't give him an exemption for a few weeks and now waiting on a rheumatologist report middle December, he has never been to one before so maybe on a wild goose chase. I won't be having boosters at this stage. Don't know if he will ever be able to be vaxed Oh well them's the breaks!!. Looks like I'm partying on my own. !! X
If he can't have another jab make sure he gets his vit D levels up. Dr John Campbell has just put out 2 new videos on YouTube about recent new studies showing the correlation between high vit D levels and better protection against poor covid outcomes A very large study in America ( 190,000) has also shown that those who have a level of 55ng/mL (137 nmol/l) and above have less chance of catching covid at all ( which is better than the vaccines as the clinical trials for all of them did not even have transmission as an endpoint ). There are now umpteen studies showing the benefit of higher vit D levels in avoiding severe illness with covid. Dr John repeatedly states how puzzled he is that the government is not doing anything to educate people about this.
My partner and I are puzzled too. The government are not acting on the science regarding vit d. It makes no sense that a very inexpensive vitamin that is readily available and has been proven to benefit people's immune system is not being advocated. We have listened to Dr John since the beginning of the pandemic. He is not an alarmist and talks sense. I read a book called The Vitamin D Revolution by Soram Khalsa M.D. it was written in 2009 and , for me, made absolute sense. So my partner and I and anyone else we can convince are taking a good dose (5,000 iu) . I dont take that every day because of my Afib (I read somewhere it can effect Afib in very high doses) but especially leading up to winter I think it's important to suppliment. I talked to my GP who suggested I go out every day and that should do the trick. How!? I'm covered in clothes, have face cream with factor 15...no, with our latitude the sun is weaker and less effective at this time of year. Watch John Campbell, or read the book, you may be a convert, but dont think that by eating mushrooms you will be covered. Most of the UKs population are lacking in vit d, along with minerals like magnesium, but that's another story.
Doctors are useless on vit D. They have swallowed the rubbish put out for years by the dermos about skin cancer and minimum exposure. Another good book for vit D is Michael Holick's "The Vitamin D Solution ". Holick is one of the worlds foremost vit D researchers. He gives tables for how much exposure is necessary at different times of the day ,in different seasons and for different skin types. This expose your arms anf face for ten minutes 3 times a week is just bollocks. Nobody takes into consideration that old skin just does not make vit D in the samd quantities as young skin or that obese people need lots more. The government guidelines of 400 iu are a joke - no actually they are a disgrace. I am not puzzled by the government's stance. But then I am more cynical .
Corruption.
Yep. Well people don't consume drugs . I remember an anecdote I read about an American doctor who worked to get all his patient's vit D levels up to 70-80 ng /mL. Put himself right out of business . Patients who used to come 4/5times a year came once a year for a check up .
It's nuts here in the USA that Drs are being fired for going "against protocol" regarding the shots and treating patients using other drugs and methods (that work). It's a reminder of how Hitler came into power. Very scary that people are being intimidated by our government.
The attempted censorship of opposing views is appalling. This is not scientific. Science thrives on controversy not consensus. Thee official narrative changes all the time. Here in France the pharmacovigilance are not bothering to investigate the deaths and serious adverse effects that people report if they are over 50. As if the lives of the 50+ didn't matter. Virtually no autopsies are being done on those who have died right after being vaccinated. It stinks.
Same here. If someone over 50 dies and has the virus the death certificates say the person died from covid when it should have said with covid. Or better yet what they actually died from and not mentioning covid. They passed from some other health problems. It's unbelievable. We have gone down the rabbit hole.
Here in the USA we have organizations and individuals in some places, who give away turkeys for our Thanksgiving holiday. There is an attorney in Orlando, Fla who has been giving away turkeys for 13 years. It's advertised on TV. He did an ad telling people to come get a free turkey (today) but you only get one if you wear a mask. Shame.
Something else I haven't seen the pharma companies advertise on TV. Birth control. Why all of a sudden are they starting to advertise birth control???? They may have in the past but I don't remember. Magazine ads but not TV. So odd that I couldn't believe what I was seeing and hearing.
Isn't it also odd that the FDA in the states wants 55 YEARS to release data on the Pfizer vaccine???? I expect the other pharmas will follow suit.
In all this craziness in this world, I'm hoping that you are doing well. Take care.
People are having side effects weeks and months after the shots.
According to the reports to the main pharmacovigilance agencies( VAERS in the USA and Eudravigilance for Europe Pfizer has just as many adverse reaction reports as other covid vaccines. . These figures are all in the public domain. Pfizer and Moderna both have warnings for myocarditis in young people.
Bob, just an FYI. Sorry I must respectfully disagree. All my research indicated that side effects could be noticeable up to 3 weeks, not days. Research the latest side effects from Pfizer vaccines and check out Dr. Malone, Inventor of mRNA technology as well. Try not to get your research from any company that gets funded by the vaccine companies.
I’ve seen several people who say after effects have started 2-3 weeks later, hospital didn’t think it was my ears!
I am going through the same I had my 3 jab Pfizer and have had very similar health problems as I had the jab at least 3 weeks ago did not think it was the cause but you have made me query now.Still feel dreadful now on my 4 day l do have some pain also.
How is your heart feeling now?
I had heart attack symptoms (it wasn't) and was whizzed down to A & E after I was given a one off dose of steroid medication a few weeks ago. My heart is still aching off and on and finding any exercise very hard work even now.
But no real problems with the booster last week apart from a quick bout of AF 12 hours later.
I had Pfizer all three shots - the second and third made me truly ill with horrible chills, fever, aches and extreme tiredness. Overall, about three days of feeling awful for those two shots. but hey, it's better than the alternative! Getting covid would likely have put me down.
Note: I had a failed ablation 2.5 years ago and had a pacemaker implanted since my pacemaker cells refused to start up again. After the surgery, my kidneys failed and I had a heart attack - so it's been a long road to recovery and I still get exhausted very easily. However, I rarely feel dizzy anymore... to me, your symptoms sound like a strong immune response and I haven't heard of anyone getting long-covid-type stuff just from the vaccine. Maybe it set off your heart issues and needs time to settle down?
I'm in permanent af and am having my Pfizer booster today after two AZ . I hope there are also many of you that didn't have all these problems mentioned here. I'm apprehensive now.
I had my Pfizer booster last Sunday following two AZ the same as you. My joints were achy overnight on Sunday and a sore arm. Nothing more than that. I had that same reaction after first AZ.I did go into AF for 8 hours this weekend but not blaming the booster which was a week before.
There are a lot more people out there who had no side effects whatsoever, so don’t worry you will be fine.
It is just not realistic for you to tell someone not to worry and they will be fine. Everybody is different and you have no idea as to whether the person you are reassuring will be fine or have a severe reaction. I had no reaction whatsover - not even a sore arm- to my jab but I would never tell another person that they would be alright .
All I was doing was offering some reassurance. Serious side effects are pretty rare. Too many people seem to blame everything on the vaccine, no matter how many weeks ago they had it.
If somebody is anxious about having the vaccine, the last thing they need to hear is about everyone else’s problems with it.
Everyone should be aware of side effects, I did not know about this one, and being A&E for 10 hours with suspected heart attack, was quite scary!
That is a head in the sand mentality. These covid vaccines have had more ( many times more) notifications to the pharmacovigilance bodies than all other vaccines put together for the last 30 years and they have not even had a complete year's roll out. There is such a thing as informed consent and hiding the level of side effects ( as is being done by media and social media) does not lead to informed consent. There are doctors and researchers who firmly believe that there will be medium and possibly long term side effects from these vaccines so somebody experiencing odd symptoms after a few weeks might well think it was vaccine related. As for saying that serious side effects are pretty rare this is an enduring problem with pharmacovigilance for drugs as well as vaccines. Doctors often do not recognise or connect side effects from either because they believe they are "very rare " and therefore do not report them - vicious circle . As a person who has suffered a reaction like this I can assure you that being told it is "very rare" is no comfort whatsoever - especially when you discover there is a community of hundreds of thousands of others who have suffered similar reactions. I am sure neither my GP nor the hospital gastroenterologist reported my reaction to the pharmacovigilance here ( in fact the latter tried to cover it up and did not even tell my GP about it) and when I tried to do it myself I was intimidated by the process and gave up. If someone is worried about having the vaccine /booster they need to weigh up whether they really want it or not and hearing about other people's problems is just as important as hearing from those who had no problem.
You have your opinion, I have mine. I do not intend continuing this.
Serious side effects are not rare.
Myself and my husband had all 3 Pfizer jabs. I had an af episode after the first (could have been coincidence) and fine after the last two. My husband was fine and so were all our friends bar two. They had previously been hospitalised with Covid before first jab.
My sister abs her family all had Covid just before she was due her first jab so had to wait a month - her reaction to the first jab was worse than the Covid -second and third jab she had no problems so I think the fact that she had had Covid had more to do with the reaction than the jab itself.
Same with my sister. She had covid in Sept 2020. She said her 1st AZ jab was as bad as the covid for 3 days , the 2nd was ok ( the gap between 1st and 2nd doses meant it was longer after the infection) and her Pfizer booster made her ill too. The uk practice of vaccinating only one month after having covid is a mistake. Here in France and in many other countries only one dose of vaccine is given and a wait of at least 3 months is advised.
The USA sure messed that up. Only one month between doses. Although later they said the longer wait would be better. The information about these shots varies so often it's ridiculous.
I think we all react differently. Personally I would rather have the jab than risk being on a ventilator. A neighbour of 52 died before jabs came out.
Myself & husband had booster jab 2 weeks ago and other than sore arm for a couple of days no problems. We know a large number of people from various groups that we are in and no one has reported having any side effects other than sore arm after having Pfizer vaccine. On the other hand my husband and 2 separate friends who we had not had contact with had 3/4days of vertigo before having their injections. Think there must be a virus going around. Chris
I’m in permanent and had no problems whatsoever with Pfizer which I had for my first two jabs. Moderna as booster and no problem with that either.
Has anyone contemplated all these jabs are not good for your body? Why is your body reacting this way? Doesn't anyone care, or wonder why?
I second that! I'm not having them due to knowing too many people having had major strokes, heart attacks & fitting a lot out the blue since having the jags! I have had covid in September and was like the flu, was exhausted walking about but rested as much as possible and I would prefer my god given intact immune system to fight these illnesses as it has done for 48 years than take jags that break down the immune system! My opinion and everyone has a right to their own choice over their own body but our basic human rights are being taken away from us bit by bit!!
I had the Johnson and Johnson vaccine in April this year and had no side effects at all. I have had my antibodies tested every three months since and in July they were 218 (anything over 1 is having antibodies). In September antibodies were 942. My doc was flabbergasted that they would go up. The only conclusion we could come up with was I had Covid and didn’t know it. Anyhow, I won’t be getting a booster at this time with antibodies at that level. And if. Ever d get a booster it will be J and J or nothing. I wouldn’t touch the mRNA stuff with a ten foot pole. My choice. I also take quercetin, vitamin D and zinc along with Alinia which is a malaria drug which I take for Babesiosis a cousin of malaria causes by tick bites.
i third that why will people blame everything but the jab
I fourth that! Seventy-six years old with COPD. Caught the virus, first day I got a z-pack from my doctor. No problem. My body ached for a few days. No breathing problems, no coughing, but my lung started kind of hurting. Went to the doctor, it was Pneumonia. A few more antibiotics and I was as good as new. No vax for me! Had a friend that got the first jab, didn't feel well for three days and then died. Have another friend that took both jabs, four months later got the virus and suffered for over a week. She was so sick. I figure if they don't stop the virus, why get them??? I'd rather be safe than sorry.
My 31-year-old son, previously very fit and healthy, collapsed in the clinic after his second Pfizer jab and ended up in A&E with racing heartbeat and af. The A&E doctors he saw said they were seeing a lot of specifically young men coming in with heart problems following a COVID jab. He continued to have worrying episodes of af for the next few weeks, but fingers crossed it seems to have settled now. Hope you are continuing to improve too
Hi, glad your son is feeling better, last night was better, although it is still lurking in the background, 🤞it’s going away!
Very happy to hear this. Odd it kicked in after 2 weeks though. I guess they did a PCR for big C itself when you we're in hospital? Some of those symptoms are noted as being reported for COVID 19.
Good luck - I think if it was the booster it should wear off - and it is probably rare, just to reassure those who are yet to have it. I had no after effects just a sore arm and none of my acquaintances have suffered anything except one felt weary for 24 hours.
I had Pfizer for all 3 vaccinations and no side effects at all. Not even a sore arm. I was a little tired the evening of the booster but as I’d run 6 miles on successive days for the first time in months, I suspect it might not have been the vaccine.
Sorry to hear that. Hope you are feeling better. I had my first two jabs as Pfizer and booster was Moderna and no problem with any of them.
No problem with either of the Astra zenica, but was wary of Pfizer anyway, because of an autoimmune disease, starting to feel better now, thanks! Doubt we’ll ever know the real truth!
My wife had AZ and was poorly for about 24 hours or so afterwards - shivering with cold and feeling very tired but second jab nothing. As you say it is likely we will never know exactly. I still feel that we should vaccinate though and trying to push for my wife's booster appointment.
I’ve also had Pfizer for all 3 jabs with no side effects. Having just lost a close friend to covid (double vaccinated but had underlying health issues) i had no hesitation in getting my booster. So many people now not wearing masks and no social distancing, it’s taking a big risk if not fully vaccinated. I was recently on a packed train to London, felt I could be in a covid soup!!
So seen as we are told covid could be around forever, do you think we should all permanently wear masks and social distance forever? Has we are now told that vaccination doesn’t stop you from getting covid. Personal choice in my opinion.
Well most people don't wear masks now anyway so probably not. Flu is around forever as is pneumonia, small pox and polio but vaccination has meant they are thankfully not at pandemic levels. Of course it is personal choice and chose vaccination. Same as I vote one way and you another.
Yes but nobody tells you how to vote or shuts you out of going to restaurants / bars / museums / cinemas etc because of the way you voted. Nor do they try to legislate to make you vote one way. Austria has just said they are making vaccination compulsory from Feb 2022. How many other countries will go this route?
I do not agree with making anything compulsory - though actually would like voting to be compulsory as sick of people who don't vote complaining about the governmentwho they didn't stop getting into power with their vote 
Sorry you’ve had a rough time with the booster Sue…I also had the AZ for my first two, just a bit ‘off’ for a couple of days after those. I had my booster (Moderna) on the same day as you had your Pfizer. I didn’t get heart attack symptoms but had dizziness and vertigo once the awful headache and feeling of too much heat in my face and head wore off. I had quite marked leg weakness and frequent vertigo and dizziness plus extreme exhaustion for the whole two weeks after the booster…now this has eased a great deal. I’m not 100% yet but I’m much better than I was. I’ve also had several episodes of PAF since the vaccine …normally the episodes are few and far between or at least very short lived but these are both more frequent and longer lasting . Hope that you and everyone else (including myself in this) recovers from these unpleasant effects soon.
Thanks for replying, it’s good to know I’m not the only one here with same effects, PAF not kicked in, so fingers crossed,! Hope you recover soon!!
I had lots of ectopics followed by a 14 hour episode of afib 3 days after the Pfizer booster. Prior to that hardly any ectopics and no afib episode for over 3 months. I also had very swollen glands in my neck to the extent I could barely move my head. I’m assuming (but don’t know) the afib was a result of the booster as my body seemed to react quite strongly to it. Wouldn’t stop me getting another jab though. One week later I seem fine 🤞
Seem to be many side effects to these vaccine boosters!
I havent had the booster as I am too afraid. I had all these symptoms and much worse angina since 2nd dose of Pfizer. Docs wont say its the vaccine but we know our own bodies! Hope you feel better soon x
Thank you, weighing up the risks I would still have the booster again!
I’ve had Pfizer for all 3. First one I had chills overnight and the second just a sore arm. I had my booster yesterday and so far so good. My arm is a bit sore but it hasn’t caused me any distress. Me worrying about it has caused more distress!! We’re all different, and all have different options, but I didn’t hesitate even though me ex husband has a degree in conspiracy theories and has tried to talk us all out of it.
I was surprised that my daughter-in-law who is an ICU nurse in the US has insisted my grandsons had both jabs and boosters when they could get them - they just walked in to the clinics with 6 months between each jab - lucky them - not so easy here in Wales. She wouldn't let them have either MNR vaccines when they were little or flu spray or vaccinations but after the eldest grandson got Covid twice she has had them all vaccinated. I am not sure whether she had a choice about vaccination herself due to her job. I don't think that it was compulsory but I think peer pressure may have played a part.
I had by Pfizer Booster 2 weeks ago., Previously AZ x 2. A bit of soreness on my arm where I was vaccinated . Oddly during the night after the jab I had an odd dream. All I can remember is waking up wet through after sweating, but actually when I woke up I was dry, but the dream seemed so real. Otherwise I am fine.
I had 2 AZs with a booster two weeks ago. Nothing unusual until yesterday when I had some palpitations and mild pressure around the heart (it feels like indigestion but, of course, one never knows for sure). Cardiac nurses told me there could be side heart effects for up to three weeks. I have rung them back and am waiting for a return call.
Had all three Moderna. Sore arm and blah feeling for a day all three times.
I have had the 2 Pfizer jabs (sore arm with second one) and got the booster a few weeks ago, sore arm but no other issues.
That’s awful suesouth. I hope your feeling better now. I bet you was really frightened. X
2 modernas and a pfizer booster.. Minimal side effects from shots...None from booster.
I have been diagnosed with Permanent AFib since early August. I had a DC electroversion which lasted 11 days.
I had a Moderna booster on Saturday with zero side effects, however this morning (Wednesday) I felt a difference and have converted to Normal Sinus Rhythm, confirmed by my Apple Watch. We are all different.
