I have taken my first doese of the the
hepatits b vaccine in september 2001 and
the second in october 2001. Everything
was ok until december 2001. Then I
started feeling light-headed, and dizzy on
a regular basis. This went on for several
months. I decided to take the last dose
in march 2002. After this I began
experiencing heart palpitations. I would
have episodes once and while, they would
come and go. Sometimes they would last
for several minutes (15-45 minutes) and
other times much longer. The heart
palpitations would always be between
90-100, occasionally they would rise over
100 but this would not last very long
(5-10 minutes). Sometimes I would not
have these episodes for several weeks.
For the past year I have been having chest
pains (upper right side of the chest),
feels like a weight (pressure). I have
also been feeling very tired/weak. I no
longer get the feeling of light-headed or
dizzy (very rare) but I did get an episode
of heart palpitations this week (heart
rate over 100). I have done many tests
over the past two years; I have done
various ecg tests, holter, stress tests,
cardio memo (a device that you carry for
two weeks and you activate it when you
have palpitations)and all these tests are
normal. All my blood works are always
normal (thyroid test is normal) I don't
know if these symptoms are related to the
hepatitis vaccine but all these symptoms
began during and after taking this
vaccine. How can I determine if the
vaccine has anything to do with these
symptoms? What steps should I take from
here.. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank-you
