Do you have vertigo and did you get the Covid vaccine?

My wife deals with bouts of vertigo from time to time. She had the J&J vaccine about 2 months ago. No issues yet.

Hope all goes well for you whatever decision you make.

I've been dealing with mild vertigo for over a decade with no reason found (!)

I just had Pfizer vaccine #2 on Monday. Yesterday, my only post symptom were mild body aches which Ibuprofen helped.

I am just so scared this vaccine will trigger my vertigo. Hate this feeling

No one likes going thru the vertigo episodes for sure! When mine come on it can last for a day or two or weeks. From the beginning of this Pandemic my fear was the physical aspect of diminished respiratory issues. My past health history includes Pneumonia with 4 weeks of antibiotics and unexplained Pulmonary Embolisms which I am still taking blood thinners for. I know what those 2 issues felt like and I can't imagine having anything worse.
Think of the benefits vs the possible negative. I hope you find the benefits worth it. PLAN your vaccine for days when you have no obligations other than to stay home and rest. My first shot was a piece of cake, my 2nd shot I had some body aches the following day and took Ibuprofen and stayed home all day. I woke up feeling fine after that.

From what I am reading the vaccine causes an immune response and in some people can cause inflammation in the inner ear which brings on vertigo. Have heard this about both Moderna and Pfizer.

Does this eventually go away? Aunt had pfizer, now diagnosed with vertigo.

I have had BPPV episodes in the past, but didn't have any issues with the shots.
