Low level headache which won’t go... AZ jab last Thursday.

Josephineinamachine profile image

Hi all

Just a quick one. I’ve been on Northstar Levo for 4 weeks. Felt well for 3 whole days days early last week (energy, happy, more outgoing than I have been, able to walk). Then I had the AZ jab last Thursday. That knocked me for six for the next few days. Since then the happy feeling has gone along with my energy, replaced with this headache which is like a brain fog headache (not awful but just THERE). Cant work out if it was the jab or if my Levo has plateaued again? AZ jab now 9 days ago. Anyone else had this vaccine and has it caused this? Frustrating after feeling good for three days. Thought I’d cracked it.

Just to point out that Northstar in an 'own label supplier' - they buy in their products packaged for them.

Unfortunately, their 25 microgram tablets are made by Teva but their 50 and 100 microgram tablets are made by Accord. Thus they have different ingredients.

Thank you helvella . That’s a comprehensive document you’ve put together. So I’m taking 1 100mg tablet daily so this is Accord. Is it possible that this is causing the headache? I read that too much Levo can cause headaches but I’m not having any other effects of overdose so didn’t think it’s that. Maybe just early days yet?

Did you see the poll we have running on Covid vaccine experiences? (There is another one for second dose experiences.)

Might be helpful to read that. My experience was almost no effect at all.

However, we have had some people say that Accord has in the past year caused them issues. Despite having been fine before.

In view of the current issues with the astra zenica vaccine I belive the advice is to contact nhs 111 if a headache doesn't respond to ibuprofen or similar. Better safe than sorry.

Thank you Greybeard 😊 phoned 111 and they said it’s just a headache - no other worrying symptoms- and told me to take aspirin. Have been doing that and today it’s much reduced. Phew. Feel like I’m turning into a hypochondriac - every little thing seems to worry me. ‘Health anxiety’ they call it now! X
