4 weeks after Pfizer Biotech vaccine

Up until 4 weeks ago I was in control of my afib with life style changes and Flecainide, then I had a COVID booster vaccine and it's all gone out of the window. For a few days immediately after the vaccine I was a little poorly and my heart readings were all over the shop. Since then I have had periods when things have been under control but generally I'm in afib much more often than I was. I understand that this could be purely coincidental but I'd be interested to hear if anyone else has had a similar experience.

Had no affect after any of my five jabs but Covid left me with some strange side effect for a couple of months.

I had 3 covid jabs, the first two were the AZ and made my heart race. The third one was Pfizer and after that I had the must peculiar cold. Had the jab on a Thursday afternoon, next day a cold started, with runny nose and eyes, was still going strong on the Sunday, but Monday morning woke to find every symptom completely gone!

I haven't had any Covid vaccine for that very reason. I am no expert but understand the Mrna vaccines have a high level of largely unreported issues. My family thought I was crazy at first even though I had a 'AF excuse' but I believe more people now are not coming forward for the booster.

I would have a period of low exertion to try to let things settle down and do some more research possibly starting with covid19criticalcare.com/tre...

I don't think it's just the Covid vaccine that does strange things. Here in South Africa, after a certain age you are advised to have the pneumococcal vaccine every two years. I had my booster at the beginning of the year, and every morning for about 3 weeks, I had according to my BP monitor, an irregular HB - whether it was A fib (I have the symptomless version) or some other arrhythmia, I have no idea, but it just stopped.

All my Afib issues seemed to start after having the first Pfizer jab in Feb 21 can't say for sure if it was responsible but does seem very coincidental. I had a second but then no more I did have covid earlier this year it was a relatively mild condition for me. There does seem to be a lot more heart related conditions around over the past couple of years in my work ad an optometrist I take medical histories of all my patients and this has come to my attention ???

I had 2 Astra Zenica shots, one in March of 2021 and one in June 2021. I was having open heart surgery by June 2021 and bedridden now for 18 months. Coincidence?
