Post COVID Symptoms: Brain fog and tingling lips

Hi - @aracelilariosespi- Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I also have chronic migraines and it's a darn good thing that you didn't have them when you had Covid in January. A lot of people are afraid of shots and I'm glad that you finally for your vaccines. Did you have the booster? I did. I also have neurological symptoms from the vaccine ( think) it is in my left hand and comes and goes.
I can understand your concern about your lips and I am glad that you are getting help today for it. I don't know if covid, anxiety (which I doubt would be the cause unless you bite down on them) or the vaccine has caused this tingling. Sometimes it's very hard to tell- was it covid or the shot? What came first, the chicken or the egg? Hopefully, you will get relief and answers today. Please, if you have time, will you let me know what your doctor says?

Oh! I forgot to add in during the 15 mins wait after the vaccine I was playing with my lips underneath my mask cuz i WAS nervous and was holding stuff like a free covid test box, my papers about my vaccine and a water bottle.. so I couldn’t play with my hands so i caught myself kind of playing with my lips not a full bite but like pressing both lips together in an anxious way? Thats when I automatically after felt they were tingling. Sorry i accidentally tagged myself instead of your comment so i dont know if you’d read this part.

Hello! My primary care doctor checked my lips and did tests on my face reactions to see if it reacted correctly and nothing else had any swelling or anything. She said everything checked out okay and that it could be my anxiety. I can strongly say I’ve gone 5+ years without any kind of shot. I didn’t have good experiences when i was younger and it caused me at the age of 18 to reject even the flu shots. My immune system was just fine even after rejecting. I wouldn't get sick as much. Although it did cause the big stress to now when I did decide to get my first vaccine since years and it being the covid vaccine…it just stresses me that it happened during the 15 mins you wait to see if any reaction happens. Im not allergic to anything once again but I do hope its not allergy related because my second dose is march 16.. monday night it did get a bit redder on the top of my bottom lip where I feel the tingling is happening..now I’m questioning whether its from a certain vitamin deficiency after having covid and 2 weeks after the vaccine. Despite the tingles, I got 2 headaches but they both left within 20 mins after ibuprofen and a bit of warm body (that left the same day) and than cramps on my ankles and feet. Despite that covid arm being sore was there and than I felt fine. So I don’t think even the first dose gave me any big reaction besides tingles the first 15 mins and still are continuing. I see you said maybe not from either 3 (covid, vaccine or anxiety) so now I’m im just curious what it may be and if its a cause for concern before my second dose. It won’t keep me from getting it, I didn’t just get the first to stop there haha but I’m afraid it’ll cause me to stress more as I get it. Took a lot in me for the first and to try to relax.
