Covid Jab Group

Hi,

Not seen any posts on here so apologise if this question is taboo or not allowed but at a BP sufferer, I’m curious as to what brackets BP people are being put into? I’m under 50 too.

If you mean as far as vax is concerned, we are not in any special group. Hope this answers your question.

Hi I’ve had two Moderna vaccines, mild increase in BP after the second vaccine but down to previous medicated levels within 10 days. 64 years old. However the reason I have BP medication is infection with Covid July 2020, and now Long Covid. I tested positive for antibodies the day before I took the first vaccine. I accepted the vaccines anyway due to a general scientific consensus. Hope this helps.

Interesting as I’m curious to know if my BP started following a suspected Covid infection back in February last year

Hi, I was borderline to normal BP before Covid infection but no meds. Tested positive so I know it was indeed Covid. During the infection. 170/110 never went lower than 160/100. Now I have long Covid. The meds are required to bring BP closer to normal since then. That is difficult, a year ago February most people were not being tested. My hope is that eventually lifestyle changes will allow me to ditch the meds. However just now, I’m still happy just to be able to get the laundry done! All the best and good recovery if that is indeed what it is. Have you looked at the long Covid support groups? I think the big one out of the UK is Facebook.

Well my bp was volcanic( hence my username) and caused some mild heart damage but I'm still in the group for my age as it is now well controlled.I think the level of control is the key thing.
