palpitations after covid booster shot

This is my 2nd booster shot. I had my first booster in October 2024, which did not cause any noticeable side effects other than a sore shoulder. I had PF ablation for paroxysmal Afib in January, 2025, with no recurrence of Afib since (touch wood). I have a history of palpitations, but they seem to be more frequent since my most recent covid shot. Hopefully it's a transient thing and they will soon subside to a tolerable level.

@nevets I had 3 Covid shots in 2021, Feb15, March 15 and December 15.
PVC’s started the following month in January- first arrhythmias in my life. I never had COVID until 2023. My cardiologist did not deny that the vaccine may have caused the PVC’s, acknowledging that there is ample evidence that the Covid vaccine can and has affected heart function As we know, it has caused cardiomyopathy, particularly in healthy young men. Deaths have occurred. Of course, there is no way to confirm that the vaccine caused my PVC’s. I believe it is not a coincidence. I haven’t had a Covid shot since and will not. Age 77.

My ablation (Nov 2022) and no recurrences, and happily off of Eliquis since May 2023.
Cardiologist advised me this winter to take baby aspirin daily, as a precaution. My pacemaker/ICD will report any AFIB should it show up again. No apparent reaction to Pfizer booster last Oct! Fingers crossed 🤞
