Maisie87 Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Hey everyone,I have POTS and got the flu shot a week ago. My symptoms got really severe by that evening, and have remained ever since.. did I "re-POTS" myself?? Have any of you had this reaction from a vaccine? Thanks!

kayjay Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Hi I had both shots and worried about a reaction. I made out ok. I am in what I hope is the tale end of my worst flare ever (started last March). I have had bad reactions to meds that have landed me in the hospital. The Mayo clinic told me it was better for me to have the shot than to get a high fever. It does trigger an immune response so I think it can make you feel bad. After one of the shots i slept more then usual a few days later and one night I woke up with a bad night sweat (H1N1). I'm still glad I got it b/c 2 heathy friends have had complications from the flu and my brother was sick for 2 weeks... and still coughing. Hope you're feeling better soon!
