Hello friends, has anyone taken a Moderna or Pfizer booster vaccine and got worst heart arrythmia or palpitations? I'm a bit scared of taken Moderna booster with my heart arrythmia and palpitations. I dont want my heart condition to get any worst.

Modern a booster did not trigger any problem. I believe that could be because it is a half dose.

I think you will find lots of previous threads about this. The booster vaccine is exactly as the first 2 vaccines - did you react to either of them?

Other people’s experience is not a predictor of how you will react. Personally I didn’t have a problem with any of my vaccines which were all Pfitzer - but I certainly did when I caught COVID.

Mariathas in reply to CDreamer

Hello CDreamer, thanks for your answer. I had 2 Pfizers at first but was just a bit worried how my body and my heart(sometimes have arrythmmia)would react to a new booster, Moderna.

Although the Moderna booster(50mcg) is half the potency of the original jabs it is still stronger than Pfizer booster(30mcg ). If you had no problems with the Pfizer jabs it might be better to stick to Pfizer for the booster.

Did you get cover after your vaccine or after

CDreamer profile image
CDreamer in reply to Riversmom1

I think you meant COVID. I was due to have my booster a few weeks after I came down with symptoms so had to then wait 28 days after I’d recovered from to take the booster. The great thing for me is that I now have antibodies, which I hadn’t had before. To be honest I suspect I had had COVID in Feb 2020 but the antibody test then said no and no after 2 vaccines.

Having just read the Independant Sage report on Omicron and other variants and the response of the booster vaccinations it seems that the vaccination will not stop you getting Omicron but has reasonable efficacy to stop you needing to be hospitalised from serious illness.

Yes, re vaccines and Omicron. This is what I've read too. Glad you're well now.

Auriculaire in reply to CDreamer

People should make sure that they are not suffering from an asymptomatic infection with Omicron before going for their booster as this can make symptoms worse. This happened to my daughter .

Hi CD Dreamer, what issue did you have with Covid pray tell!

CDreamer profile image
CDreamer in reply to MissTia123

Apart from wishing I was dead because I felt SO ill, AF and other arrythmias (usual with any infection for me). Because I couldn’t eat or drink anything (vomiting/diarrhoea) I couldn’t absorp any meds which left be unable to move or do anything for myself. I got pneumonia, O2 sats sat at around 85 for several days so had to be on CPAP. My husband couldn’t cope with me being ill so thankfully a friend talked him down and called out GP - who came and arranged for a carer to come in.

I’m grateful to have recovered.

You were in trouble weren’t you? Much worse than I was although my reactions were bad enough. 2nd AZ vaccine perfectly OK. Ist high temp, heart all over the place, aching all over, shaking and jerking, bp sky high. Bad for about 5 days and not right for about 6 weeks. 3rd jab phizer all the above for about 3 days and bp not back to where it was for about 2 1/2months. Very rarely out of A/Fib now. Having said that better than having covid.

So you were fully" vacinated " but got covid anyway ? Im so glad chicken pox , measles ,small pox , diphtheria , polio ,rubella , anthrax rabies , . worked ! Vitamin C must be a vaccine , taking large doses helps from getting rally sick from the flue /cold , These COVID shots are not VACCINES ,. My opinion only . I have NOT taken the jab , I will not compromise my emune system by sticking unproven chemicals into my body ( one such chem says " not for human consuption and do not dispos in any water way as it will kill aquatic life . Koolaid is nothing Id drink especiaaly when the the goverment is making it and the news media is pushing this !

CDreamer profile image
CDreamer in reply to johnnyB1313

Very pleased I got vaccinated as I wouldn’t have survived otherwise. Risk:Benefit and risk of COVID far higher than risk of affects - at the moment. The efficacy of vaccines against Omicron is now minimal, 0 against being infected and 40% against serious illness so the risk analysis may invert for me soon but I don’t believe the nonsense about ‘unproven’ chemicals. I well understand the vaccine make up chemically and think they have, on the whole, performed well but it’s a very controversial subject with too much disinformation to have an informed debate - which I agree is needed - and this is not the place to have that debate.

I take high dose VitC, VitD with K3, Zinc but that’s not going to help when you are immune surpressed anyways.

Take care and hope you don’t suffer.

Thats good Paul, we all have to try not to get covid.

I had the booster in early November, then lots of ectopics/palpitations three weeks later. Of course, this might not be anything to do with the booster. My GP said it just isn't possible to say; they are still gathering data on side-effects so nobody really knows. On balance it makes sense to have the vaccine, although I understand the apprehension that some prople feel.

More likely he has no clue . Dr said toMe having the vaccine wouldn’t have any effect on my heart or arrhythmias , as it affects a different part of the heart , turns out he was dead wrong , now Be gone from ventricular EPTOPICS every now and then to almost

Full time arrhythmia and boarderline ventricular tachycardia .

Me too I have persistant afib now haven't had a normal NSR since November 2nd before that I was in perfect NSR for ages months and months but I appreciate getting covid could be even worse so I will be getting my booster in a weeks time I hope it gets me out of persistent because quite honestly it's getting me down in the dumps

in reply to fairgo45

I think that's the direction I am headed too. I'm getting ectopics every night with heavy heartbeats. It's difficult to sleep and produces anxiety. Yet before the vaccine I had had 7.5 months AF free.

Interesting reply. How long is it since you had the booster? I had mine in early November. Also, have you found that the situation has improved over time? Mine seems to be getting worse. I spoke to another cardiac nurse today and she said they had had quite a few reports from people who found that they had more ectopics, AF episodes etc. not long after the vaccine.

GeorgeGlass profile image

I got second dose of pfizer, which caused permanent shoulder injury and two months of pvc’s. I don’t have afib but the vaccines caused to er visits due to the frequent pvc’s but i did not have increased in heart rate. I stopped the pvc’s using taurine. Levaquin 2020 and covid vaccine 2021 each caused a few months of pvc, about 15 per minute a few times per day. The VAERS in America has over 24,000 people that reported the death of their family or friends, due to the spike protein injection. Normally, the reported figures are far lower than the actual number. Severe reactions like mine are over 270,000 on VAERS. I’m not trying to scare you. Just make your decision based on all the facts and whether you plan to be isolated or string other people indoors during these winter months. Covid might be gone by April. Obviously consider your heart fragility and overall immune strength. Prime with weak immune systems don’t get much immune boost from the vaccine anyway. Strengthening immune system with exercise and healthy eating is very important, as is, starting trim and losing excess fat.

Mugsy15 profile image
Mugsy15 in reply to GeorgeGlass

All the virologists, epidemiologists, immunologists and medical scientists of related disciplines tell us Covid-19 will circulate for many years to come and probably for ever. It certainly won't be gone by April!

Unless you mean April 3000!

May I ask what is the nature of the permanent shoulder injury you sustained from the injection?

GeorgeGlass profile image
GeorgeGlass in reply to Mugsy15

whatever remains will very likely be much weaker, and with a low death rate. Viruses usually get weaker over time. The death rate of the 2020-21 covid was about .02% 99% of deaths were people with at least one of the following, prior to getting covid: heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, lung disease. These are caused by sedentary lifestyle, lack of nutrition/high ultra-processed food intake, and smoking. For healthy people without the aforementioned pre-existing illnesses, the chances of death are essentially zero.

Governments need to focus on the vulnerable and have treatments readily available if they get sick instead of trying to jab healthy people not at risk. Incentives to lose weight and get healthy should be utilized as well, instead of letting everyone eat hamburgers, twinkies and pasta every day and then expect to be able to prevent their deaths. Obesity leads to weak immune systems and the vaccines don't even help people very much, who have weak immune systems. Plus, the covid vaccines cause severe side effects and deaths as well.

CDreamer profile image
CDreamer in reply to GeorgeGlass

We have had a few posts about shoulder injuries and the advice was it’s not the vaccine per se that could do the damage but the way it was administered in that if not injected into muscle correctly or too high into the arm or caught a small blood vessel or hit a nerve then yes it could possibly cause injury. That happened to me with the flu vaccine this year when injected too high into the arm and reactivated a previous shoulder injury and triggered arrythmias but it isn’t permanent - rest & physio has worked and the arrythmias settled down after a week or so.

The consensus of opinion is as Mugsy15 says - we have lost the opportunity to obliterate this virus and we really don’t know how it may mutate. It may become less harmful and that is my hope but in the meantime I’ll protect myself as best as I can and go on best and most recent scientific information available and follow the advice therein and I think that’s the best we can do.

GeorgeGlass profile image
GeorgeGlass in reply to CDreamer

That was not the case with me. My injection was in the right shoulder and most of my shoulder damage is in the left shoulder and the heart. The right shoulder has some damage but not nearly as much as the non-jabbed left shoulder.

Many doctors believe the virus mutations are caused by the injections, forcing the virus to mutate. Viruses are never eradicated, and any analytical person would have known that a worldwide mass-vaccination all within a month or so, would never be possible. The deaths would have been much lower if people were incentivized to lose weight and eating healthy. 99% of deaths were people with at least one of the following, prior to getting covid: heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, lung disease. These are caused by sedentary lifestyle, lack of nutrition/high ultra-processed food intake, and smoking.

CDreamer profile image
CDreamer in reply to GeorgeGlass

I’ve not looked at the breakdown of the deaths recently but from what I can gather, it’s now the younger and fitter people who are suffering. My sister is ICU nurse and this time last year had the unit overflowing with most on respirators. This surge she reports the patients are younger, fitter and not as many on respirators but the common factor is that they are all unvaccinated.

More worrying now in the UK is the number of young people who have had COVID and now are suffering from autoimmune conditions, Diebetes and Myocarditis - which seems to be also a reaction from the vaccine. I don’t think we really understand the mass consequences of this virus yet and it’s showing no sign of going away at the moment!

I believe you are in the US and I think the European diet is on the whole, better than the US diet generally, although not by much but I entirely agree that we need to take response ability for our health as much as possible. I’m all for good nutrition!

I was very ill with COVID for a few weeks, glad to come through, despite being on immune suppressants and put that down to being vaccinated and Lifestyle = stress, sleep, gut health, diet and moderate exercise.

Report

GeorgeGlass profile image
GeorgeGlass in reply to LT2511

Omicron came from a lab. analysis of the strain shows that it is not connected to the mutations during the last 18 months. This strain was last identified in the wild in March of 2020 and had not been seen again until a couple months ago in Southern Africa. It does not attack the lungs like the 2020-21 variants. Omicron attack the throat and nasal passages, which is why the death rate is so much lower, because it is not leaving dead virus "honey-combs" behind in people's lungs, like was happening in 2020-21.

GeorgeGlass profile image
GeorgeGlass in reply to CDreamer

I originally heard about omicron a month ago and then again last week from a doctor on TV who showed a graph of all the covid variant mutations, and the omicron dna structure etc was on a completely different location on the graph, from the rest of the mutations. I just did an online search like this, "omicron is not a covid mutation, came from a lab" and you'll see many different websites covering the story.

If you want to hear about how the original covid affects the body, and it's progression from day 1 to day 28, go to Dr. Mobeen Syed on YouTube. Everything is based on medical results from doctors in different parts of the world. His discussions with Dr. Pierre Kory lay it all out in detail. I spent many nights until 3 am getting information and given my Mom all the supplements and actions she needed to do on a daily basis. She was in her late 80s last year and she made it through the original version of covid, with mild to moderate symptoms. I had her moving around the house during the day, sleeping on her side, doing lung breathing device exercises, drinking lots of water, took a steroid, already took vit. D3 supplements 6 months prior to that so she had a level of 70 in her blood. All these things work well but the media won't talk about anything other than vaccines and cloth masks and social distancing. They dont talk about weight loss, exercise, healthy eating etc. They say to rest at home and if you get breathing problems and blue lips around the 10th day, then come to the ER! It's evil.

CDreamer profile image
CDreamer in reply to GeorgeGlass

When I had COVID I was given an oximeter with an app to track my O2Sats and had to report x3 daily. I think by the time you got blue lips it might have been too late! I had pneumonia and still having follow up X-rays as there is some scarring on one lung.

There are several doctors in UK who I respect and who give good information.

Prof Tim Spectre Tim Spector is a Professor of Genetic Epidemiology and Director of the TwinsUK Registry at Kings College, London.uses an app called Zoe to track COVID and symptoms. joinzoe.com/learn/new-omicr... I have been contributing since early 2021 and he was one of the first people to notice how symptoms of COVID varied through reporting and still pushing UK government to get their act together and change the COVID symptoms list! He also published the biggest survey of how gut health affects our immune system through his research with identical twins. Very well worth while looking at his stuff

UK media published the charts I think you mean.

The other person is Dr John Campbell - videos on YouTube. His Doctorate is in Nursing & retired Tutor but he looks at the latest world wide studies and then explains them very clearly. He was talking about VitD at the start of the Pandemic - I think you may find them interesting. youtu.be/fbGug3rczx4

Both my husband (88yrs) & I had COVID in October. We had supplemented with VitC, VitD+K2, Zinc, CoQ10 and made sure we ate Brazil nuts (high in selenium) and we love shell fish so living by the sea, we have that frequently - high in Zinc and selenium. We followed a very similar protocol that you used ie: made sure you kept upright and moving as much as possible. I needed CPAP but I use that quite a lot anyway so was able to stay at home apart from one day when my heart went crazy when I was Blue Lighted to A&E.

We have had numerous threads on the benefits of various supplementation and benefits and I have learned so much from people on this forum. In UK there was coverage of how being fit and not overweight reduced chances of severe illness and quite a few news items of how COVID has made people rethink their Lifestyles - seems more so than in US? ?

Prof Christina Pagel is UK advisor on Independant COVID advisory body SAGE and another worth following - her speciality is statistical epidemiology ie: she crunches the numbers.

independentsage.org/

Her Twitter feed is somewhat interesting sometimes! She is currently looking at indoor clean air and how to achieve it as primary necessity for control of not just COVID and variants but looking to future as yet unknown virus transmission. There is a bit campaign in UK education to ensure all classrooms have adequate air filtration units. Much promised, little delivered.

None of the above though changes the fact that vaccines have prevented deaths from the previous variants and I for one am very grateful for them and the people who worked so hard to produce them. Regarding their effectiveness and Omicron - I am much more sceptical?

Best wishes

I watch John Campbell. He’s good. You hit the nail on the head for one of the biggest sins of this virus. Doctors just telling people to do nothing for a weeks, other than monitor oxygen. There Are several things to do and do starting on day one of the Covid illness that will help reduce the virus, the Cytokine storm, hospitalization and death, but the media doesn’t bother telling anyone, nor do the politicians. These evil ignoramuses are responsible for several million deaths but all they do is blame it on unvaccinated. If people only knew all the treatments that are available on days 1-7, they’d realize how politicians and media are killing so many people by not telling them how to treat before hospitalization.

Everyone has a personal choice - in my case after March 3rd 2021 (first vaccination) my heart has slipped off of a cliff - there is compelling evidence about inflammatory issues due to the vaccine.I am not some anti vaxxer loon but an educated engineering manager who monitors his condition, logs data & it jumps off the page. Just look at risk versus benefits & look at both sides of the debate

CDreamer profile image
CDreamer in reply to Kevwray

I agree - I know a lot of doctors now questioning and if you go onto YouTube and follow Dr John Campbell - he gives regular updates of latest studies and explains the science very clearly and gives an unbiased opinion on the studies. He did one recently on exactly this subject.

Inflammation is our worst enemy and personally I had my inflammatory markers monitored quite regularly and ensured they were low - before I took the jab.

hi kevwray ,there is compelling evidence about inflammatory issues especially with healthy sports people , with many footballers dropping on the pitch with chest pain and some dying , one local footballer died last week near me , i cant say for sure it was the jab ,but with so many now it looks damn suss to me , the jabs are a risky undertaking and need to be thought over very carefully , anyone getting them i wish them luck.

completely agree. I am the same as you. I've read the data and experienced what you experienced. I use amino acids to counter the damage. I've also read about some kind of electrolysis clip that can be put on a person's ear to reduce AFIB related problems, but I haven't researched it in-depth.

Hi yes l did have problems with suddenly prolonged tachycardia on day 7 after my 2nd pfizer shot in August. I woke up with 138bpm that carried on for half an hour non stop . I've never had that before . Kardia recording attached. I recorded 10 pages of that event before l gave up. I had more over the following days then it faded away and nothing since apart from my usual pvcs. I am now due for my 5 month booster of pfizer and tbh lm not happy. I am scared of more tachy and that it might convert into a worse arrythmia . I will be there tomorrow for the appointment and will have the shot as bottom line is l'm more scared of covid. But l am nervous. Sorry this is not helpful but just being honest.

Tachycardia

I think maybe any strange new med can cause problems for me. I had a CT scan in December. As soon as the dye injection started l had massive and fast palpitations like I've never had in my life, like my heart was trying to force its way out of my chest. It stopped after about 20 secs, thankfully. The nurse said it was anxiety but nope it wasn't. It was my heart reacting to the dye. I have also had bouts of frequent pvcs from medications on the past .

Had arrhythmia problems post first AZ vaccine which settled after eight months,no problems with my heart following Pfizer second dose or Moderna booster but l guess the takeaway from this thread is that we all react differently so my response is no indication of your response although l completely understand why you are seeking reassurance.Vaccinations are the best way to keep out of hospital with Covid for the majority of people.If you are really concerned have you got a trusted medical professional you can discuss it with?

For what it is worth - as we all react differently - I have had all three, with no impact. I also have the flu vaccine annually, and never had a reaction to that either.

Point to note - before Covid, no-one was discussing the possible effects of the flu vaccines, and most people here get them as a matter of routine.

Auriculaire profile image
Auriculaire in reply to Jaws66

There is no comparison. Flu vaccines are made traditionally. The covid vaccines use quite different technologies. The mRNA technology has not been used in humans before for vaccination. It has only been tried for cancer treatment. There have been bad reactions to hastily produced flu vaccines in the past. The Pandemrix vaccine for the 2009 swine flu "pandemic " that never materialised caused narcolepsy in some young people.

When I went for my booster, it was in a centre that was doing both moderna and phizer and I was put in the queue for the moderna one. However, when I told a clinician that I have afib, she said it would be better for me to have phizer, so that's what I had. That was before Christmas and, to my knowledge, I did not have any afib and any arrhythmia I did get was nothing above my normal load, so I was happy with that.

I had Pfizer booster, 3 months after ablation for AFib, it caused no problems or changes to heart rate or rhythm for me (nor any other health issues). I had flu jab at same time.

My first and second shots were Pfizer, booster was moderna. Just a slightly sore arm with first two and no reaction at all with booster. On all 3 jab days I was careful to be fully hydrated and to have eaten lightly and healthily during the preceding days. But I do know that any fever or illness will set my AFib off, so I knew I didn’t want to risk covid.

Good Morning, it is not unknown that many individuals may experience side effects, such as headaches, fatigue or flu like symptoms, these are often short lived and pass within 48 hours. We are all lead to understand that all the vaccines \ boosters have been passed by all the world regulatory bodies and deemed safe before they can be administered. If you are particularly concerned, please contact your health care provider for medical advice.

During the last year I experienced atrial flutter and had an ablation procedure to correct it. That was a success, but I still worry about developing AFIB. I di have the Moderna booster on Nov. 4th 2021 AND have not had any heart irregularities as a result. I experienced muscle soreness for several days, but no other problems. I originally had the J & J vaccine in early March 2021.

Hi, I had 2 AZ jabs with no problem but had atrial flutter within 14 hours of having a Phizer booster and despite taking amiodarone and having had a cardioversion am still not back to normal nearly 12 weeks on. I am now looking at a possible ablation. Before this in the past had had just 2 episodes of AF in the past 10 months. My cardiologist says it was the booster that triggered it. I guess everyone is different but I will certainly be thinking twice before having another Phizer jab.

No reaction from booster other than sore arm. No worse than any other vaccine I’ve had .. and I’ve taken them all!!

Two Astra Seneca and one Pfizer. Absolutely no reaction to any of them. My heart did not misbehave. A friend of mine had the same jabs and because she was in contact with someone with COVID had to have a test. She tested positive but had absolutely no symptoms and was very pleased she had been vaccinated as she is certain it stopped her being ill. Good luck with whatever you decide!

Hi Mariathas, I have afib and took the Moderna booster without a problem. I have just had a CT scan (colonography) and thd prep to clean the bowels put me in afib. This mongrel of a disease is so unpredictable and a downright nuisance. 12 hours later and I am still on afib 🥺

I was scheduled for a cardioversion for this morning. Three days ago I received my Moderna booster. This morning they pronounced at the hospital that I was in sinus rhythm and they sent me home. Go figure.

Hi. I had the 3rd vaccine the same as others. I do not take flu injections.No change except reaction at site because they think nurse put it in a nerve!

Think positively you dont want Omicron variant.

But mine was done 6 mths after last in June.

NZ then changed it to 4 months after.

Take care JOY

I had no problems after 3 vaccines apart from a slight fever. My arrythmia has no changed. I am relieved to get the vaccines against the prospect of getting covid. I hope your worries are eased about the link.

The Covid shot is not a vaccine. The Covid -19 virus is just what it says! 19th. Any virus that can infect animals will never be eradicated period! The reason polio, chicken pox and measles are all reasonably eradicate is because they were unable to infect animals. The complete lies about this to the world is disgusting. That is why people that got the jab are getting infected. There are so many variants of viruses at all times. This fact will never change. The injury from this jab is unprecedented. No way to hold anyone accountable because there is a non liability clause built into the fine print. All of it is lie.
