Hi all! I'm new here but have been reading these forums for a few weeks after experiencing many of the symptoms described on here and thought I'd add in my horrible experience.
Quick background, (apologies for long post)
I'm from Australia , I'm 35, female and relativity in good health and recently starting back on my keto diet and exercise after a break during all the lockdowns.
I do suffer from anxiety and depression but have put it under control without medications through lifestyle, breathing changes etc. I've had ear issues on and off mostly flares during high stress and suffered from what I believe was an episode of sensorineural hearing loss in my left ear about a year ago out of nowhere from which my hearing recovered. My right ear comes and goes with feeling full and and I get the dread of what if it happens to that one too. I also have chronic Tinnitus which doesn't really bother me and prone to migraines.
I suffer from high blood pressure (genetic) and have been on 8mg of Perindopril for the past 4yrs . I also have chronic tight back and neck muscles. Arthritis in my knee and lumbar areas.
Let me share my horrible journey and which I believe is vaccine related (of course no DR will listen or believe me)
Firstly I've had all 3 shots (all Pfizer including my booster), 1st shot I was fine nothing at all but a sore arm, then 4 weeks later I woke in the morning with sudden vertigo and off balance, (this knocked me for about a week and then it went away and I felt normal). I decided to get the second shot for my protection and it was mandated for my studies so I had no choice.
Second shot ... A few days later and BAM! dizziness on and off most days and horrible head pressure in my neck and ears like a migraine but not. This slowly went away with rest and heat until.......
My booster on the 25th January and that is when the worst started...I woke with flu like symptoms and then was fine the next day until 2 days later when I started getting daily light headiness and balance issues. 3-4 weeks on this has now turned into daily episodes of lightheadedness, dizzy spells and nausea and my balance isn't right again. I have episodes of near fainting once per week that last seconds, my heart will pound, I feel off balance and need to lie down , or hold onto something or feel like I'll pass out. If I rest its ok but the scary part is if I'm out at the shops like I was for my first episode I'm scared I'll actually faint. Thing is I'll wake up in the morning totally fine and then it will come on gradually as the day progresses and then I seem to be ok at night. I can also tolerate exercise later in the day.
I'm not sure if its heart related because I don't get tingling, chest pains, or anything that could indicate cardiac symptoms during an episode however since changing my diet and working out (aerobic) my blood pressure is in normal ranges and my resting rate is 57-65. I've also halved my BP medication (dr knows about it) I've taken my own initiative and started mega B12 (already on Vit D and C) and loads of water helps.
Anyway I have googled the hell out of it all, and have a few theories(like BP meds interaction with vaccine? undiagnosed medical problems etc) but I know for sure I NEVER had these symptoms before the vaccines. I don't think I can handle a 4th.
I'm off to my Dr this week for tests and a checkup just hoping it's not something serious caused by the vax as I'm sure if it was heart related I'd have worse heart symptoms and wouldn't be able to tolerate exercise.
I just want to feel normal again 🙁 give me my life back as right now I'm too scared to even leave the house.
Thanks Pfizer!
