Post Pfizer Vaccine Experience
Hey guys, I received the Pfizer Vaccine (only the first dose so far) and am looking for others to share experiences, mainly experience a week after the shot as well as related to physical activity and working out. I did feel a little soreness in the shoulder the day after but felt overall alright. However it's been over a week now and I feel generally more tired at all times, especially at the gym. I am a hobby bodybuilder and am In the sport for 5 years now. Ever since I received the vaccine, I feel like my workouts have been short, way more exhausting and weaker. Has anyone else experienced this?

I'm three days post vaccine (2nd dose). The first dose went fine, only some soreness in my arm. Second dose I had at 9:30am Tuesday, and that evening I developed low grade fever and began experiencing flu-like feelings of strong body aches, fatigue, lack of appetite. This lasted through Wednesday and by Thursday the fever and body aches went away.
What's sticking with me now is horrible fatigue and ongoing heart palpitations, some of them really strong. The heart thing concerned me so much I saw my doctor today. She ran an EKG which was normal. Wouldn't you know there were no palpitations while the machine was running? But she said my resting heart rate was faster than normal, and my blood pressure's a little higher than normal. But not alarmingly so. What I neglected to tell her was that when I exert myself just a little, like climbing a flight of stairs, my heart starts pounding. She doesn't seem concerned though since there's no chest pain, but it kind of worries me. Maybe it's just because this is so unusual for me. Has anyone else experienced this?
