Who plans to get the covid 19 VACCINE when it comes out

[Frederick Foresight]

Got my second shot Saturday evening, 2 days ago. I am now all Pfizered up. No side effects apart from a little soreness and redness at the injection site the next day and almost not at all today. Heart rate is fine, no fever, and no muscle or joint soreness (apart from the usual ). And so, while I previously thought I might have to miss a workout or two because of what I heard about some people's increased sensitivity to the second shot, I will not skip tomorrow's workout.

Onward and upward.

My heart is still running high compared to what had been normal before the second shot, and fatigue is another issue since it also. I could fall asleep a few times a day I feel so wiped out at times.

Sorry to hear that. If this continues how long do you plan to wait before checking in with your doctor?

I have a physical set for mid August as it is, and was planning to wait and see if anything changes, but the wife is on my case to go in now.
I knew it when I brought it up to her that I should have kept my mouth shut.

Is your HR still in a normal rhythm. You can buy one of those rhythm monitors to see if you're in Afib. Being constantly tired is a symptom of Afib.

Thanks, I probably will look into that after reading the AFIB info Mayo's site. Reading the Mayo article and it pretty well covers what I have been experiencing.
I am getting sick of this getting old crap.

I probably get need to get checked for Afib. On top of the higher heart rate, I am having the racing heart a few times a day. I figure they are related, so I may have to listen to the wife and go in earlier than planned.

Only? Okay, now you're just pissing me off.

But good luck with your upcoming checkup.

Afib is treatable in most cases. Afib itself is more of a pain in the ass than deadly. It's the potential blood clotting due to a irregular heartbeat that can lead to stroke which makes it a priority to take care of. If you have it they'll probably put you on a blood thinner. I would suggest taking one baby aspirin per day right now and that will thin your blood a bit.
There are several drugs which treat it. Depends how bad your symptoms and how often you have episodes, or perhaps you're in persistent Afib. I take a low dose of Sotalol daily which has worked like a charm for better than 4 years for me. If drugs fail you can try ablation, which can be successful, but takes some time to determine success after surgery. It's not the end of the world, but you need to take care of it sooner than later.
