Palpitations after Covid vaccine?

by Gemita - 2024-01-05 11:37:36

Hello JimmyandJeremy,

Oh yes, many times.  With any vaccine which has the potential to trigger a strong immune response, there is always the possibility of suffering unwanted symptoms, including palpitations.  After each one of my Covid vaccines I had an increase in all my arrhythmias, as well as lymph node enlargement and high temperature.  So yes, I would say it can be normal, at least for me, to experience palpitations following the Covid vaccine.  Do you have any other symptoms that concern you?

I had a word with my doctors and was advised to increase my beta blocker dosage slightly until things settled, so if you are having high heart rates I would speak to your doctors for advice.  I hope otherwise you are well and your heart is behaving?

Covid and the heart.

I had atrial flutter on both occasions having  been infected with Covid. ( Lasting 1 month, and 2 weeks).

My cardiologist, when I discussed this, told me they were quite busy dealing with the effects of Covid and the heart.

Apologies

jimmyandjeremy, I think you are asking about palpitations after Covid, not after the vaccine?  My apologies if I have misunderstood your question.

Yes I had Covid before vaccination in early 2020 and I suffered months of difficult palpitations.  I was told I had multi focal atrial tachycardia at the time.  I was unstable and required extra medication to calm these and also to calm a bacterial chest infection.  I was extremely poorly.
