Sleep terror, Nightmare and Panic attack

The past two days Ive felt anxious. I have a lot going on so it could be an anxiety attack but Ive had trouble sleeping. I spoke in the phone with a Kaiser nurse on Sunday night because my blood pressure was higher than usual. I ended up talking to the behavioral health clinic after that and they suggested several ways to ease anxiety. The anxious feeling started again last night and again in the middle of the night also. Its probably not relatedTo the vaccine but thought Id report it..

My left eye swelled and kept watering

I dont know if this is from the vaccine but 4 days after the 1st shot I had a very strong anxiety/panic attack. Then since Ive had the second, Ive had a few times where I woke up in a panic w/cold sweats. I also experienced night terrors&nightm

Skin lesion, Injection site urticaria and Injection site induration

After my first vaccination, I had a monstrously sore deltoid for 2 days and nothing else. Last night - seven days and 10 hours after vaccination - I felt sudden onset cold-like symptoms: sore throat, a bit sniffly, and subjective fever (97.3). Three hours later, the injection site started to itch furiously. It quickly progressed to a 3 cm raised, circumscribed, urticarial, indurated lesion that itched like HECK for about 2 hours. Swelling diminished after a few hours and I went to bed about 1:00 a.m. (usual). This morning, it is pruritic only if I rub it, but still clearly red, though no longer raised. A bit firm yet but much less.

Menstruation irregular, Migraine and Paresthesia

Over the weekend, 2/27-3/1, I dealt with migraines. I dont normally get them so Im unsure if they were related to the vaccine

Started feeling tingling/ prickling on various parts of my body, primarily upper body/ arms starting on 9/ 13

I have been having issues with an irregular menstrual cycle, with going months at a time without a period. However, I also have PCOS and Hashimoto, so there may not be a link to the vaccination.

Anxiety, Sinusitis and Dyspnea

Congestion

Probably related to anxiety, but shortness of breath (which I can get on a normal day too)

I think I have a sinus infection. Dr apt to check today

Dr prescribed augmentin for suspected sinus infection

Feeling better with antibiotics so dont think its related to vaccine

Ive got a sinus infectionmy doctor thinks, but I cant seem to kick it. It started the same day I got my vaccine. Have an in person follow up scheduled for Friday

Mild throat irritation mild rattly cough for the last five days, had laryngitis two days ago.I do not see where to enter side effects from second vaccine.

Acute appendicitis Feb 6. Surgical case. Only complication was prolonged post-op bradycardia. Treated with 36 hr levophed iv drip.

I've been meaning to tell you that I developed dysphasia right after I got out of quarantine. Started mild & secretions, eating, and drinking. Aspirated a vitamin in Feb and had to go to ER. Coughed up in ER wait room & LWBS. Seems resolved now.

Systemic inflammatory response syndrome, Abdominal pain lower and Myocardial infarction

Missed yesterday, but had agonizing abdominal pain bottom left. Getting better today

Thought I was having a heart attack, pressure in my chest. Last night it was in my head, felt like I wasn't getting oxygen.

I almost had a stroke, or maybe I did. Air pressure in chest. I had long Covid and this vaccine is like having it all over again but on steroids. And yes I was tested and negative for the virus. Is this become a problem with other Covid survivors?

Went to the Emergency Room for a suspected heart attack. It's honestly like I have Covid all over again but on steroids. Head pressure, arrhythmia, shortness of breath and random aches and pains. More constant in chest. Scared to get second dose. Was tested and am negative

You need to explain to people who have had Covid that this vaccine causes a hyper immune response. With the risks of heart attack, stroke from A-Fib. This may be a personal response but from what I'm seeing my reaction is typical among others.

There is clearly a higher chance of severe side effects for people who had Covid prior to vaccination, especially long Covid.Inability to burp Chest PainAFibSinus IssuesBrain Pressure Systemic InflammationEye PainMyalgiaInsomnia Tested Negative For Covid

Skin fissures, Dry skin and Impaired work ability

The guy missed! I felt pain as the needle went in and came out, then a slight prick like the 1st dose shot. I hope today's shot is still effectual and doesn't cause a problem because of the 2 tries.

The symptoms yesterday were severe enough that I arranged for a substitute to teach my class today. So yesterdays symptoms prevented me from work. Today I feel much better but concerned the rash may get worse. I had head to toe rash with omoxycillian in the past--so I am concerned.

Dry, cracking skin in between base of each finger.

Felt like I couldn't get air to my brain and brain/head cramping.

Small red rash, fatigue

Oligomenorrhea, Menstruation irregular and Vomiting

Not sure if related to vaccine. Headache extreme & caused vomiting.

Swollen lymph nodes under jaw on injection side of body

Still a swollen lymph node on that side but thats it

Im having a marked increase in headaches since vaccination but we also recently moved to the region so unsure whether theyre weather/air-pressure related or if vaccine related. Answering the other questions excluding increase in headaches

Missed period, not sure if related. Happened last year after my first or 2nd dose as well

Menstrual cycle skipped a month after my booster, then lasted 8 days instead or 4 or 5 when it did come.

Muscle rigidity, Multiple sclerosis and Mobility decreased

Stiffness in shoulder. Mild.

Since I have MS, any small increase in fever, Im usually around 97.5F, will render my body rigid and I cant even sit up. After no reaction after first dose, this has been very difficult.

Since I have MS, any heat (ie fever) makes any moving around near impossible.

No real changes but needed a place to report that I got Evusheld due to my being immuno-compromised with MS and on Rituxan. Vaccines did not provide antibodies.

Movement disorder, Electric shock sensation and Gait disturbance

My body from head to toe is itchy..my face feels a little stiff,tingling and itchy and red flush. Constant Pain and heavyness in my injection arm as well has itching.this is the same down in my legs and toes making it hard to walk. Feels like a shock

Severe pain in legs, feet, could not barely move my legs they hurt so bad...the flushing and novacain feeling in my face increased

The tremors have moved up to my face

Eructation, Sputum discolored and Gastrointestinal pain

Mild stmach ache last couple days

In the days since I got my vaccine I have gotten tired pretty early in the evening and also I've had a very mild stomach ache, except for the first 24 hours when I had moderate nausea for about 2 hours in duration 17 hours after vaccination.

Stomach pain, intestinal cramps and headache

Continuing mild bad taste in mouth

Is it possible that the vaccine can cause burping or bad taste in mouth? Also, does it cause a dry mouth when you wake up? If so, I have had those since 1st vaccine.

Last 6 days deep productive cough andverysore.throat. Not strep...no fever..worse when I wake up...lots of green yellow phlegm... Checking in with consulting nurse and got orderfor strep test..alsochecked virtusally with doctor who thought it was abad cold.

Deep, productive cough since last Monday..so far 6 days. No other symptoms except a little bit of a runny nose yesterday. No headache or sore throat.

Bad cough, sore throat, sleep apnea symptoms at night. Regarfing question below FYI - it is impossible for me to get pregnant as my husband is infertile.

Burning in chrst, congestion, 3 negative covid tests...

Period is late.

Menstruation cycle still messed up. Ringing in ears is interfering with hearing. Seeing ENT next month.

Gingival discomfort, Noninfective gingivitis and Gingival swelling

Insomnia (probably due to achiness)

For last 3 days, slightly swollen axillary glands under arm where I got the shot.

Probably unrelated, but last week I got poison ivy for the first time ever. I was careful pulling the plants from my yard w/ gloves on as always, I washed my arms immediately after, and showered a couple hours later, but I developed a bad rash anyway

The poison ivy I reported last week got a lot worse. (It's now improving.) No idea if it's related to the vaccine, but in 59 years I never had it before, even though I pulled it out of my yard before, etc. And I was careful this time as always.

Dizziness (moderate)

Vertigo

Migraines. I have had migraines a few times per month for many years, but for the past week I have had them almost every day, and my medicine (sumatriptan) has not worked aa well.

Overall weak and yucky; need to lie down

From last night (following my last check-in): felt faint: tried to fix dinner and couldn't even remain standing. Tried to prep food sitting down but couldn't do that either. Had to go back to bed.

Swollen and sore lymph node (axillary) on same side as injection. Had this yesterday too but forgot to mention it.

Swollen axillary lymph gland (same side as injection). Mild pain.

Oral: pain/burning and swelling of gums; pain/burning inside cheeks near gums. Makes it very uncomfortable to eat. I had this after my last booster also but I wasn't sure it was related so I don't know if I reported it.

For a few days I had severe pain, burning and swelling of my gums and inner cheeks. (For some reason I did not receive check-in texts from V-safe for the last few days, so I reported these symptoms through VAERS.)

Arthropod bite, Joint stiffness and Hypersomnia

N/a

A littke diarrhea last night

This really took place 12 hours after the shot. The whole night was difficult. Exhausted today and had joint pain and muscle pain...right hip and leg. Slept most of day.

Broke a huge sweat last nite but had no chills or fever that i know of

Just tired...nothing else

I do not know what it is but suddenly i have what seem like spider bites all over...kiwer kegs, upoer inside thighs, hop and under left breast. Probably not related and i ahpuld stay out of the garden.

Extreme fatigue.

Joints are more stiff
