Has anyone had the 2023 updated Covid shot?

Has anyone gotten weird symptoms after getting the booster vaccine? Two weeks after getting the vaccine I started getting weird symptoms like painful muscle contractions (I wasn't able to pass solid food and my esophagus had to be dilated), tremors, dizziness, lightheadedness, walking in zig-zag, difficulty breathing, fast/hard palpitations, mental fogginess, a strange sensation on legs and arms (like I was going to drop things or fall), my face got really red, etc, etc. When I say difficulty breathing, I mean not being able to walk from my room to the kitchen. I had to walk slowly and take a break in order to reach the kitchen.
I have gone to every specialist and all the tests come out negative. I even had an EMG done.
Is this what they call Post Vac Syndrome? I got Covid on 2021 and then the first two vaccinations and I had no consequences. It was after the booster shot that my health messed up.

@dianabajandas72 That's when my Long COVID began - within weeks of my first Moderna booster in November 2021. I had my first COVID experience July 2022 (just felt like a bad cold) Through my journey I have learned that everyone's symptoms can be different. My initial symptoms were in my head, feelings of light headedness and dizzy. I knew something was wrong and I moved up my annual physical to January 2022. My GP threw every test in the book at me, finding nothing abnormal and sent me on to my cardiologist who detected slight disautonomia (which Ive learned is common for Long COVID sufferers) with a tilt table test. I moved on to ear nose throat and neurology (all in Charleston SC) and in August of 2023 I went to Mayo Rochester. Mayo agreed I had Long COVID and told me many people report their first symptoms after initial vaccination or booster. I am on the Mayo program, and at 3 months am feeling better, but not yet 100%.
