Strange side effect from vaccine

Posted , 3 users are following.

I had my first dose of the AZ vaccine on Sunday and, besides feeling a little funny in the evening I was fine,

From Monday onwards I have been very tired (to be expected) but I have also had long waves of what I can only describe as feeling high or trippy. As I type this I feel very spacey and it is starting to trouble me now as it is not improving and this does not appear to be a common side effect.

Am I worrying over nothing?

I did not have any fever, just some headaches and a bit of stiffness.

    Actually I’ve heard of a couple other people saying they felt spacey, foggy head and out of it. They eventually felt better. Just give it some time. Another thing is make sure you are hydrated with water. I heard that dehydration makes everything feel worse.
