AF episodes after Vaccinations

[Shayshell]

I have had 2 COVID shots and wanting to have a booster shot. I am a bit worried because about 2 days after each shot I had an episode. I wondered if it was because of the COVID shots or was it because I was a bit nervous about having them because of my AF. Did anyone else have this happen to them?

I can honestly say that apart from a slightly sore arm I had no problems with any of my four.

It could probably have been a mixture of both. I had no problems with any of my 4 injections. First two Pfizer then Moderna and then Pfizer.

My arrhythmia was caused by the Covid second shot. I hadn't ever had it before and two days after it, I noticed swelling in my ankles and fluid retention, only to discover I was in A-Fib with a heart rate of 230 but with no palpitations. I was given the Oxford AstraZeneca so when I had my booster I was advised to get the Pfizer. I had no side effects after the booster. My arrhythmia is currently managed by meds and I'm awaiting an ablation.

I had Pfizer for my 1st and 2nd and my booster will be Moderna. I have a feeling the episodes were caused by stress because I was worrying about getting them and what they might do.
