Anyone had lingering side effects from the Moderna booster?

[Awldgranny]

I’m 69, had my COVID 19 booster 8 days ago. (First two vaccines were Astra Zeneca) I’ve had 24/36 hours of feeling hot, very tired and very headachy following this booster. Then I developed light headedness/feeling brain foggy and generally weak and still very tired. Rang GP who cited recent chest infection, 2 lots of antibiotics, short steroid tablets course then flu jab and now vaccine booster as body’s reaction to a lot going on in a five week ‘window’. But I am still somewhat anxious and wondered whether anyone else has experienced similar side effects beyond the 24-36 hours post vaccine? It’s not getting any worse now but it doesn’t seem to be getting better either. (For context I have asthma, paroxysmal atrial fibrillation and GORD/Hiatus hernia and Barrett’s Oesophagus, for which I take daily med of one sort or another)

Thanks for reading 🙂

Your GP is correct in your specific case, fron what you wrote.

Your symptoms do need to be looked from Your case history and GP is in best position professionally.

Clinically, requiring two lots antibiotics and steroids says a lot about respiratory immunity to me and then add other underlying comorbidities and the very important age factor on biological health. Glad that you have had booster by now.

Suggest keep well hydrated, rest well, eat well and lesser news and social media on the vaccine related things. That should calm down your anxiety and give needed rest to the body to recover from the 5 week window damage.

Have a good day
