Anxiety Symptoms and Vaccine

I really want to know this too, been putting off getting my jab for weeks because I'm scared incase it triggers my panic again! X

I'm interested to know too, even though there really is no logic to this because that it happens or does not happen to someone else doesn't mean it will/will not to us, but that's what this anxiety is like

yeah that’s true. I just really would like to know if it will exacerbate symptoms I get in my head like the buzzing feeling, lightheadedness, vibrations etc. I definitely don’t need that to get worse. I have seen too many videos of that happening and it’s scary

i'm 51 and suffered from anxiety since I was 18. now had my 2 vaccines and cant say my anxiety got any worse

thank you. that makes me feel a little better

i only got the first dose of the vaccine and skipped my second due to anxiety. at the time before my second dose, i was experiencing weird symptoms from anxiety so i was scared to get the second dose and experience the symptoms from that on top of the other stuff i was feeling (tension headaches, chest tightness, brain fog, etc.) to this day i still only have one dose but symptom wise, i feel better so honestly there's nothing stopping me now from getting it. i'm definitely just overthinking it at this point.

the first dose did make me feel a bit off. i had a headache and my arm hurt a bit, but it was nothing too extreme. a lot of people said the second dose was worse which obviously doesn't help with my overthinking.

My anxiety got much more intense after my first dose. I had anxiety before, but was completely functional. Few days after the vaccine, I started having unexplained panic attacks and serious breathing issues. I still took my second dose, and can't say the symptoms got any worse after the second dose. They just stayed the same. To be honest, I think my breathing symptoms will get better. I also don't know if the vaccine caused it. It could just be coincidence. My family doc and therapist said they haven't heard of the vaccine affecting anxiety. I don't even know how a vaccine could affect anxiety directly. The only way is if you are nervous about the vaccine (which I was not at all). Anyway, I do think this virus is awful, and I am so happy I'm protected. Anxiety can get better, but covid can leave you with some awful long term effects that I did not want to risk. I think my workplace will be mandating vaccines soon anyway. So overall, I had to get it. You should speak with your family doc and make a decision accordingly.

I have really high anxiety and I had Pfizer for both injections. The 1st injection I was super scared and within seconds I was immediately nauseous and that lasted a couple days but it was the worst nauseous feeling I had ever had. My 2nd injection was only slight nausea. I cannot say that this is related to the vaccine but within 2 months afterwards I was diagnosed with high blood pressure " something I never had an issue with my entire life" and I was also diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. My A1C was 6.6 3 months later my 2nd A1C was 5.7. I very well imagine that I had extreme anxiety during this time as well. I was the only one in my entire family to have any reaction to the vaccine. I think it just depends on how your body reacts to it. The other thing was I had an extreme reaction to 2 different types of new medication that ended up in ER visits which I've never had anything like that before. But I had a Dr tell me that in some people the vaccine had brought hidden health issues to the surface. So I can't say with certainty except for the injections made me really nauseous.

jan have you had any vaccines yet

I've had both mine and apart from a sore arm i had no other issues anxiety wise.
