@raeanna Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Everyone here shares their experiences with their own health condition. Most of the tips and experiences are very helpful. Can I ask why you asked the question about covid and APS? Do you have APS?

@raeanna
I had the APS autoantibodies show up in 2017 and 2019 bloodwork but do believe the Covid vaccine (I had the 2 Pfizer vaccines in 2021) made me worse. I had pain at the base of my skull and dizziness right after the injections and after the 2nd shot, I started to get heart attack like chest pain and difficulty breathing a week or two later. I was 51 at the time. The chest pain and breathing issues went on for 4-6 months afterwards. I started to get abnormal EKGs after the vaccines, too (didn’t have them before). I then got the COVID virus in 2022 and believe I now suffer from long COVID (extreme fatigue, breathing difficulties, etc.).

I was diagnosed in August 2020, so I already had it....I did get the J&J Vaccine, which I regret, but my hematologist says it did cause any changes in my blood work...who knows...by the way, the J&J is the one that can cause clotting...the same problem I have! They stopped giving it shortly after I got it...Ugh
