After my second dose of pfizer vaccine, a little chest pain, like oppression. What do I do?

Hello Sir,

How have you been doing since yesterday?

Usually, the symptoms you describe are rare and transient. You should have no more of this type of pain this morning.

If the pain is still present, you should see a doctor.

These side effects (pericarditis) are extremely uncommon after mRNA vaccines.

If pain is present today, see a family doctor (not the emergency room) if you do not have symptoms of a "fluttering" heart (arrhythmia) or difficulty breathing.

Great!

And so I understand that it's getting a little better in terms of those oppressions you were describing?

Great! So let's keep following along. If it's still getting better, nothing to worry about. If on the contrary it seems to get worse in the next few days (that would be surprising), we consult a doctor.

Good evening,

Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist
