[Deary63 in reply to Hypo20061]

Thank you Hypo20061 for your message , sorry to hear your not any better...are you on any medication? Iam not anything at moment , tired beta blockers year ago felt worse, only thing that helped was Flecanine , but I’ve rather not , so I’ve got it for stand by if Iam really having a bad week!

Iam just keeping my fingers crossed that people like us have the vaccine and don’t get worse episodes of ectopic beats 🙏🏻

My boys really think I should have jab, but Iam so worried about it, which doesn’t help me anxiety 😬🙄 hopefully I won’t get offered it to me till around March/April when it’s done the rounds a bit 😃.

Hi.....just to let you know ,I’m 74,I’ve got Brugada Syndrome, which is an arrhythmia syndrome and my heart goes into peculiar beats etc ,I have a defibrillator fitted ,and have suffered from ectopic for years. I was very concerned about having the vaccine ,but also about contracting Covid . We are between a rock and a hard place. I had the vaccine last week with no heart related side effects ,but did get a very sore ,very itchy arm . Get it done ! The virus is deadly.

[Lizty in reply to Midnight21]

Yep. Had my vaccine on Thursday. No problems. Bit of a sore arm and a feeling of tiredness as I let the anxiety go!

All the best

Sue

Hello, good to know that you had no problems after the vaccination.I'm 60 and also have Brugada and ectopies at times. I have wondered whether the Covid vaccine might have any effect on ectopies. I will definitely have the vaccine when it comes my way.

[Tashoooooo]

I’m also worried about the same

I have PVCs and because of this I am not getting the vaccine.

[Lizty in reply to Niki_]

Please see above. I have had an ablation, but still have lots of pvcs. Had vaccine... short flutter later in the day... all of 10 secs. I think Covid anxiety more likely to be causing my pvcs than anything else....

[Gill68 in reply to Niki_]

Hi, is that on medial advice?

[Niki_ in reply to Gill68]

It’s based off of common sense and reading the adverse affects reported so far that people have reported.. and weighing that against the risk /fatality rates of actually just catching it etc. for me the risk/benefit just doesn’t makes sense.

[Mariathas in reply to Niki_]

I was saying the same thing to myself that I wouldn't get the vaccine because I think it could make irregular heartbeats worst. However after considering I have now signed up for the vaccine as I think getting covid could be more disastrous than getting the vaccine.

[Deary63 in reply to Mariathas]

Hi Mariathas I had my vaccine a month ago , I suffer terrible with ectopic beats , I was so worried about having it , I was fine, just had a few a few days later ... better to have a few extra beats than end up with covid in hospital .

It’s a must

All the best

Sue

[Niki_ in reply to Mariathas]

Everyone has to do why they feel is best for their health.. I hope all works out well for you💛

[Deary63 in reply to Niki_]

Yes of course Niki all the best to you also x

Hi Sue, I only just read your post from 16 days ago. Just to say that I have also suffered with ectopics since I was in my thirties. I am 60 now. I did have the Covid vaccine about 10 days ago. I got it early as I work for the NHS, and I did want to have it. The vaccine was given in the morning, and by the evening I did feel very shivery with increased ectopic beats. I took a couple of paracetamols and went to bed. The following morning I felt much better and was back to normal really, other than having a bruised arm. These sort of side effects are expected and don’t last long. I do get increased ectopic beats when I have a fever or am fighting off something. In this case I did expect it and wasn’t worried. I have generally resigned myself to living with ectopics. They can be worse on some days and better on others. I have yet to find out what triggers them, but have been checked out a number of times and reassured that they are benign. Hope this is useful. 🙂

My husband has his on Thursday morning at the doctors , his 70 and has Alzehmiers, receptionist said I’ll be called in couple of weeks , at the moment Iam having problems with my BP keeps going up and down ,plus today Iam feeling awful with giddiness when walk about , so Iam really fed up at the moment !! But iam pleased hear you have had your vaccine and it only affected you a little, I can put up with that 😃.

Take you

Sue

Hi, I had the cardiac ablation procedure at the beginning of January because I have suffered from atrial fib for quite a few years. I had the Covid vaccine at the end of January. NO side effects at all and have had no bad episodes of AF since the procedure, now I'm only having a few flutterings from time to time.

[Martgai]

Hi Deary, I had the vaccine about a month after having the cardiac ablation. I haven't had any side effects at all.

[Deary63 in reply to Martgai]

Hi Martgai

That’s good to hear, Iam having the Pfizer vaccine on Tuesday , just keeping my fingers crossed I don’t get my ectopic beats play me up 😩

All best

Sue
