Seems the only time it makes the news in Aus is when a media rep gets it.

Hannah Scott, Network Ten: I’m not posting this for sympathy and I’m certainly not an anti-vaxxer. I’m pro-choice, and my choice was to get the vaccine.

As a result, I’m in the unfortunate percentile that has been diagnosed with pericarditis (heart inflammation), a rare side effect of Pfizer.

Cold chills and dizzy spells were regular. I pushed on and four days ago (one week post jab) my heart began racing uncontrollably, making it difficult to slow my heart rate down enough to sleep (my heart is still racing today).

The purpose of this post is to highlight that if you’re feeling any of these symptoms – get checked to be safe, because this side effect is rarely talked about, despite my doctors saying they have been seeing this more frequently of late.

I don’t want to put anyone off getting vaccinated. Just to point out that there are vaccine options and to be mindful of your symptoms.
