Breathing issues after receiving Covid shots?

Posted by alicattoo @alicattoo, Jun 18 1:22pm

I'm wondering if anyone other than me is experiencing any breathing issues after receiving the Covid shots. I have developed extreme shortness of breath, so much so that I'm on oxygen 24/7. I have to stop halfway up a flight of stairs and rest until I can breathe normally. Getting dressed is an ordeal. I don't do much of anything around the house because I get out of breath so quickly. I tire easily. I've been to 3 different pulmonologists and none of them can figure out why I'm having problems. My lungs are clear. I've gone through a battery of tests each time and the tests say I should be fine. Up until I had to get the shots, I was perfectly healthy. I'm currently 73.

If anyone reading this has had or is experiencing any of these symptoms, I'd love to hear from you. Thanks!

@frouke My bleed might not have been from the vaccine..At the time I was on Metformin and Tragenta at the same time for diabetes type 2 plus the cardiologist had me on Plavix to keep my blood thin. Also it was 3 days after I had chemo ( carboplatin) for throat cancer..Those might have been the disaster why I had a vein rupture in my small intestine?

@gareee314 I’m sorry you’re going through so much trouble with your health, I hope that it’s getting better for you soon, it’s very possible that the vaccine can cause you more problems because it interferes with your current health issues. I still worry about the vaccine but it’s a big step to stop relying on it, I have taken other vaccines for RSV, pneumonias and the flu just to be sure, I sometimes wish that we knew everything that doctors know about it but they don’t share with us and that remains troubling.

@gareee314 That’s truly very frightening to go through so much suffering and all due to a vaccine to protect yourself from covid. I honestly am getting more worried about continuing with these things, I too have COPD along with battling lung cancer twice since the pandemic started, I was afraid to not get the vaccine and of course it was highly advised that I should do so. I’m a researcher for many years and made a living doing this for many years, it opens doors to many things that are happening today and also how little is passed along to people, the truth is that they don’t want us to know too much for their own reasons, the downside is that we are always told that knowledge is empowering and for the most part it is but there’s also the other side of this, i.e., too much knowledge can be overwhelming. Sorry for the rant, I’m sad that you went through such an awful experience and hope that you’re on the mend soon, for my own part I find myself struggling with what I should do when the new strain vaccine comes out in October,??

Have you seen a cardiologist? At age 79 my mother-in-law, who was very active and playing (walking) 18 holes of golf, suddenly experienced symptoms similar to yours and went on oxygen 24/7. After the third trip to the ER a cardiologist was consulted. She had a hole in her heart. It was patched and she immediately went back to the way she was. She is 98 now.
