First shot of the Moderna vaccine I was not doing bad, bit tired for a week but nothing else really note worthy.
But the day after my second shot I woke up to heavy chest and heart pains. I didn't know what was the matter, my first thought was: "am I having a heart attack?!"
Couldn't move and hardly breath from pain, it took over a half hour before I could finally grab my phone and call my house doctor's office. I explained what was going on and that I had my shot the day prior. Was being told that was just a side effect from the shots and that just should take painkillers and try to tough it out. If it wasn't going any better in a day or two I should call back to make a appointment.
After a short half day a couldn't take it anymore, called my doctor back and he told me to go to the hospital.
Luckily I could come the same day and they did multiple tests. Had to stay the night because the results wouldn't be ready till the next day.
Well it turned out that had a inflamed heart muscle pouch, had to translate. Hope it's correct.
Stayed in the hospital for almost 3 weeks. I got oxygen, because I had trouble breathing and I got all I kinds of drugs all day long to help me out.
After that they said I could go home but call right away when there was any problems.
I couldn't work for almost three months and during that time went back to the hospital 2 times because returning heavy pains on my chest.
After those three months I figured it's time to go back to work but only like 2 or 3 days per week to start with because I still had breathing problems and sometimes the pain would come back.
I'm doing better but still sometimes I have trouble breathing and have to take it easy.
I didn't even wanted to get the shots but had to because of my work.
I'm sorry that happened, but you must know reactions like that are extraordinarily rare, and COVID-19 itself frequently causes much more severe heart injury.
I hope you're doing better now.
