Can you approximate how you will react to the second Pfizer dose, based on your reaction to the firs

I made an appointment for my second shot of the Pfizer covid vaccine and I'm a little nervous based on what I'm hearing in relation to heart inflammation that may happen as a result.

For some context, I'm a mid/late thirties male, I don't have any known health issues, I have a healthy BMI and have always maintained an exercise regimen (mostly running 3 times a week) to stay reasonably fit. I don't smoke and very rarely drink. I have never had any cardio health issues.

I had my first shot of the Pfizer vaccine almost 8 weeks ago and it went well- I basically had no symptoms that I can recall. My arm didn't even get sore- the only time I would feel pain in my arm is if I fully extended it in front me, and even then it was very mild. I think I was a bit "fatigued" at the end of the same day- but I'm not even sure that it was a result of the vaccine. I do suffer from intermittent bouts of insomnia which may have caused it; not sure. The fatigue didn't have "different feel" about it.

So essentially what I'm asking is- can I "estimate" how my body will react to the second dose, given how it reacted to first dose? Since my body reacted "well" to the first dose (no problems)- do I have a "better" chance at having no adverse reactions (i.e. heart inflammation) when I get my second dose?
