Covid heart palpitations

Toula, it is of course, your decision to have a vaccine or not. Do not be influenced by one person. Take all the available peer-reviewed research and make your own decision. All medicine carries some degree of risk but vaccines are not available for use unless the benefits outweighed the risks for the population.

Vaccines have been developed that have saved millions of lives. Herd immunity is complex and without vaccination it is often not possible.

When having a vaccine consider what is most important to you. It could be that preventing money makers from making profit is of higher importance than acquiring protection through a vaccine. I don't like the profitering either but I don't like being sick even more.

There's all sorts of considerations; how much time can you afford to be off-work sick (repeatedly), is there anyone in the family (e.g. obese, diabetic, has MS) who is more likely to be hospitalised or die if they catch it, are you a risk taker and don't mind if you're damaged by a disease?

I hate being sick and don't want the rest of my life ruined by illness more than I'm concerned about billionaires (and I have a massive problem with them and the cost of healthcare).

The AZ is not at all the same as current vaccines for Covid. Anyone who considers all vaccines the same is neither thinking critically nor very smart. If they have a PhD and are spreading the idea that all vaccines are the same they are either seriously misled or feel powerful when spreading conspiracy theories.

If their focus is how much money is being made rather than how many lives are being saved then think twice about believing them. These are two different arguments. They are related but not one subject. There's no doubt people are making money and this needs addressing nevertheless vaccines save lives. The US health system has been gouging money out of people for decades but that's no reason to risk your own health while we try to find a better way (if it is even possible).

Do you buy Nestle products or shop at Amazon (just the first things that came to mind there's hundreds of other things)? These companies do bad things and are making money out of people big time. Do we all shun them? I do, but many don't, they decide the personal benefit, use their personal values and make a choice. Consider doing the same with vaccines. Do you need to stay healthy or do you want a Covid damage lottery ticket? I know that is harsh but so is the disease.

Covid is neither a cold nor flu, the more times you have it the greater the risk of long term health issues. There is no cure for long-covid.

The diseases differ as do the vaccines. I too had a bad reaction to AZ vaccine and so did my brother. My husband was fine. My brother is scared to have another Covid vaccine but I still do.

I have side-effects for 1-3 days after every vaccine but I have weighed up that against the benefits. I don't want flu or to be debilitated by Covid, for example.

We all know enough to understand that all diseases and all vaccines are not the same and that all people do not have the same side effects to a vaccine. AZ was developed too quickly because we needed something very fast. Covid was causing sickness, damaging lives and killing people at alarming rates.

AZ wasn't perfect but it saved more than it damaged. That's hard to consider when thinking just of ourselves. When it comes to thinking about vaccines I admit I think about myself and my family first.

The vaccines that have been developed for Covid now are very different to AZ, not least because there's been more time for research.

I do wonder about the motivations of these people who claim bad things about vaccines. They are not doing it for the good of people, they may be doing it as it makes them feel powerful or that they are making good money from Youtube.

If you're being told things that have not been researched, peer-reviewed and published in reputable journal then it is just an opinion.

I have a PhD, have been a medical researcher and am published. I believe we should all be free to make our own choices as long as it does no harm to others.

My daughter got mild Covid in 2020 prior to vaccines. She's had long covid for almost 5 years now. It has stolen some of the best years of her adult life.

Toula seems alarmingly ill informed. Please do more research that click baiting

My SIL is a PhD Biochemist/Parasiteologist- I wouldn't trust him to advice me on anything.

We were on a package to Israel. My friend’s PhD is travels a lot through work and uses her Dr as she’s found it helps smooth things 😏

Iam64 my husband rarely uses his "Dr" title as most places these days don't ask - he does use it when at a medical appointment though!

I was upgraded to a 5* hotel when travelling with a Dr X. My friend’s PhD is in history, good job she wasn’t called to a medical emergency. However, I suspect she’d give more sensible advice than Toula does above

Yes, this is a big problem these days, now so many people get PhDs.

DS and DDiL are both 'Dr's, DDiL even works for the NHS - in a job that is totally unrelated to providing medical care. Much as I love them and trust them, I would not treat any medical advice they gave me more seriousness than any unqualified persons.

Dr John Campbell is a nurse with a PhD. He is not a "medic" as you seem to think.

My husband is a Dr but not at all the best person to give medical advice.

John Campbell has also been fact-checked repeatedly and has misinterpreted or misunderstood lots of things. He has had to remove videos.
I would be wary of what he says.

Dolly Parton gave money to vaccine research. She donated $1 million to Vanderbilt University Medical Center (in Nashville) in honor of her friend Dr. Naji Abumrad, who was involved in COVID-19 research.

Where did you get the info that says she made money from the vaccine?

First AZ caused semi blindness for a few weeks. Flashing lights were horrendous.Also vax caused great problems with severe sinus pain and migraine... not to mention vomiting and gall bladder pain. I was quite healthy prior to having 3 vaccines.
All symptoms yellow carded. I now look at posts of Dr John Campbell on You Tube. He and many other medics will not be taking any more vaccines. IMHO. We should have had herd immunity. I had travelled to Far East and Mid East countries when MERS and SARS were detected before CV. Some people have made millions from CV vax. Think Bill Gates and Dolly Parton to name but two.

Hi how are you doing now? I had covid in Feb 23 and had horrendous palpitations, are your resolved now would be interesting to here thanks.

Thank you so much for reassuring me. I am very grateful.

I'm a Cardiac Physiologist, palpitations are extra active from the "electrics" within your heart muscle.
If they are in frequent but you are aware see if they occur with certain foods and drink. Caffeine /Chocolate /wine can bring them on, plus stress, Covid could be the instigator some Viruses can cause this, depends how your body reacts.
Some people report they feel their Heart stop after a Palp, but it's just the Heart resyncing so it doesn't get confused.

If A&E let you home they didn't find any abnormal rhythm. Bloods would have rules out any major Coronary Heart issues.

If they continues to drive you potty, speak again to your GP, they might give you a short dose of Beta blockers and possibly a Home Monitor to record you long term ECG.
You should be fine, but don't worry. Every one gets Palpitations (Ectopics) you just are not aware most of the time,
Take care.
