Default Concussion Symptoms Relapse From Vaccine

I haven’t been on here in a while because I’ve been doing much better. This past week I started a new full time job (fully remote until after Labor Day) and I loved it! Although it did slightly spike symptoms.

Friday night I got my first shot of the vaccine and have felt horrible since. I have a headache/pressure, sweating, nausea, neck pain and irritability.

I am concerned I have a new concussion from a couple events. After the vaccine I stepped onto the escalator kind of hard and jerked my body/quickly tenses my shoulders. Then yesterday while taking off pants I kinda lost balance and was wobbling around a bit, I also had another body jerk later in the day. I also went over a bad speed bump (going slow) yesterday. I obviously didn’t fall or hit my head in these incidents, but they all shook me up a bit.

Should these terrible symptoms be attributed to starting work and getting the vaccine? I’m just scared to go backwards and tend to cause myself crippling anxiety that worsens things.

Mouellette1 how do you know that what you experienced had anything to do with the vaccine?

It is normal to do this double bind. Nobody knows which vaccine you got. This is standard in science.

Hi Mouellette,I snipped your post and put a few phrases in bold.

Headache/pressure
sweating
nausea
neck pain (head ache?)
irritability
lost balance momentarily
wobbled around a bit

I'm aware that those symptoms noted are common in dozens of conditions.

They obviously have affected you badly since having the vaccination and that's why you've posted.

I would never negate your feelings by saying they're not a problem.

I would think they would be expected symptoms of having the vaccine in some people from what I've learned. Do as Jomar says and give it a few more days and these feelings should pass.

In the meantime drink a lot of water and take care of yourself. Try not to panic about it. The fact that you've just started work again probably has you feeling somewhat hypervigilent. That's OK. It's a big thing to start work again and it's probably exceptionally annoying that you're suddenly feeling under the weather.

This sounds vaccine related to me just from reading your post, and hopefully those symptoms should go away after a few more days. Contact your doctor if you continue to feel unwell or any of your symptoms become severe.

Help your body react strongly. Take Vitamin C, Vit D3, Vit K2, and zinc. They help your immune system ward of the challenges of Covid and Covid like proteins in the Covid shots.
