Hi loonarider
I think you need to give it a week after the vaccine to feel back to normal.
With my first vaccine I was quite poorly and in bed for three days - fever with pulsating headache etc. That was back in january and there was nothing in the news about blood clots post AZ vaccine then so I didnt worry at all . Not a bit.
I had my second AZ vaccine 21 days ago and I worried about it a lot- even though it was my second. I felt weird for the first 7 days with shooting pains coming and going and felt spaced out. I had a lot of tension headaches- neck related and also above the temples. I think anxiety played a huge part of this.I am fine but slightly aware how many days since the vaccine it has been and I probably wont completely relax until day 33 rolls around!!
So what I am saying is - it is normal to be anxious especially as it has been in the news and very scary. But remember a headache where you cant stand up is the one to be concerned about. Plus vision problems- feeling sick etc. I read that the headache which is the one to worry about comes on suddenly and doesnt move around or come and go. It develops after 4 days up to 16 days ( and maybe later).
Anxiety can cause headaches and you tend to focus more on every slight twinge. I broke a blood vessel in my hand (without realising) a few days after my vaccine. I suddenly saw blood under my skin and had a complete anxiety attack until I realised what it was. I understand how you feel.
As each day passes you will worry less

Hey there,
Thanks for your response, always informative and stress relieving. Have to say, I can stand up, but have a bit of diziness, and my eyes are funky - can't expain it - possibly a bit blurry? Not sure if I'm looking for niggles or not or how to discern which ends up with me calling 111....again. Either way, I guess the good news it the headaches sort of gradually come and go.
I have had nausea soon after the jab and has come and gone too. Mostly in the morning, nothing to shout about though. Very mild. Just went to the garden to plant a tree and was finding it hard to bend, head started pulsting, or maybe that's just blood rshing to my head making things worse. I have the same when lying down...
ANyway, thanks again. And you're right, while I know I'm still chiming on here, every day that passes, I feel better able to get one with things.
