In reply to the discussion: The effects of the Pfizer vaccine - nine days later. [View all]I had Covid back in Dec. and when I got my first vaccination, I had some of the same symptoms - lack of oxygen, dizziness, tired, racing heart and aching. It lasted 2 days then went away. Started about the day after the shot.
Just got my 2nd vaccination yesterday. Arm is really really sore, couldn't sleep because I kept rolling over on it and the hurt would wake me up, feel dizzy and weak again but oxygen and pulse rate are normal this time so that's a relief. Arm is feeling much better now than I'm up, it's just the dizziness and lack of strength now.
I got the Moderna shot and am totally ok with my side effects as long as my oxygen doesn't get too bad. If a booster becomes necessary for the variants, I'll get that too.
