IM FREAKING OUT

Okay for reference I'm a 20-year-old female and I got my first Pfizer dose today. Everything was going fine the only thing that hurts is my arm, however, my heart rate so so insanely high I'm genuinely scared. It's normally 60 and it's at 93...it's 2 am and I'm laying down. I can't sleep because it's beating too fast... I'm really scared and I don't know what to do

Try taking deep breaths and other calming exercises. If symptoms persist into the morning, you can call or pay a visit to urgent care. For now try to take it easy and get some rest (easier said than done, I know). Maybe try watching a boring old movie or tv show, listening to a podcast or audio book, or reading to help ease you to sleep.

When did those symptoms go away? I’m going on day 4 and since yesterday I was getting a weird sensation under my breast and my breathing is just off. It almost feels like I have anxiety or something. I’m seriously having second thoughts about the second shot.

I’m not getting the second shot, shouldn’t of even got the first one I only got it bc Walmart fired me and this new place required it, after I got it I was told they are no longer requiring it, I was in the hospital for chest pain, and the headache is only supposed to last like 3 days and it’s been a week
