My Experience with Tachycardia and the COVID Vaccine

When the pandemic began in the United States, I had already been following the news from Italy, where the virus devastated the nation and was particularly lethal to the elderly and overweight population, especially those with one or more health issues.  Having been sent home to work remotely, I set up my laptop on my dining room table and realized I was surrounded by snacks.  I decided to walk a mile that Saturday afternoon, March 14, 2020.

Within a week, I was walking three miles a day.  

Within three weeks, I was running a mile and then walking two daily.

Admittedly, I was snacking more, but the daily exercise was paying dividends as I was running faster and farther every week.

By May, I had increased my running distances, but was running just three days a week while walking three miles on days I did not run.  I set a goal to run a 5k distance by summer and in early June ran my first 5k distance in 32 minutes flat.  A week later I purchased running shoes and cut my 5k time down to 28 minutes.

I had gotten myself into pretty good physical shape, probably my best physical condition in over twenty years, back when I was in my late-20s and regularly playing pick-up basketball, softball, and occasionally ice hockey.  I stopped playing sports around the age of 30, when I dislocated my shoulder periodically and started my family, which consumed a lot of time.  Still, throughout my thirties and forties, I was never a sedentary person, which may have helped me get into excellent cardio condition in 2020.

Thus, I was pretty comfortable with my odds of beating the pandemic.  I was, and remain, slightly overweight, but I am healthy and have none of the illnesses or conditions that make the odds of beating the virus really low.

When the vaccine emerged near the end of 2020, I decided to take a pass on it.  Again, I liked my chances of survival because of my physical condition and sound immune system.  Further, I had returned to work with some co-workers while most people at my place of employment chose to stay home. 

By summer of 2021, one of my employers (who will remain nameless) required the jab to continue working there.  It was a part-time gig, but I really enjoyed it and let’s just say the results of my work product were consistently near the top of the charts.  So I took the jabs. 

The first jab went smoothly, though I was tired the next day.  The second jab produced far more intense results.  I was exhausted and lethargic, yet my mind was working as if I’d consumed a pot of coffee, resulting a near all-nighter because I just couldn’t sleep with my mind overly active, so I read a book.  I didn’t check any of my vital signs and figured I’d be fine in a day or two.

The employer that required the jab then required the third jab, or “booster” by January 31, 2022.  I didn’t want it.  At all.  I didn’t want to go through another sleepless night.  I’d also concluded that the initial jab didn’t nearly work as promised; I believe Joe Biden said in early 2021 that if we got the vaccine, we’d be safe for life.  Getting another shot 4-5 months after getting the first one clearly showed the ineffectiveness of the shot.  I appealed to management and was denied the choice to control my own healthcare.

So I got the third shot.

This time I had similar side effects from the first shot, but I monitored my pulse on my Fitbit.  While laying lethargically on the couch all day, my heart was actually racing, peaking at 97 beats per minute despite complete inactivity.  It should be noted that my daytime resting heart rate is generally in the 60s and low 70s.  Clearly the shot affected my heart.  A scientist I spoke with subsequently (who was involved in the response to the pandemic) told me I probably had tachycardia from the shot, a pretty common but grossly underreported side effect.  Why was it underreported?  He said it was because most people didn’t know they had it because they weren’t monitoring their pulse.  In truth, I know I had it after the third jab and likely had it after the second and never, myself, reported it to the CDC, so I am part of the underreported cases.

I also visited my cardiologist who said that the increased heart rate was likely due to the shot.

Just to show what I believe the shot did to my cardio system, I am posting my Fitbit-measured overnight resting heart rate, keeping in mind that I had the third jab on January 29, 2022 and that a month later, my resting heart rate was in the high 60s.  By early April, that resting heart rate was back down into the high 50s.

   

Can I prove that the jab caused the 18% increase in my resting heart rate?  No.  But during the months of February, March and April, I had no illnesses or traumatic incidents, nothing that would cause tachycardia.

Here are three more screen grabs from by Fitbit results showing what my pulse was during exercise two weeks before the jab, just over two weeks after the jab, and 6-7 weeks after the jab.  Note the peak heart rate, which is roughly 20% higher a few weeks after the jab compared to before the jab and 7 weeks after.  Again, can I prove that the jab caused increased pulse?  No, but I also do not believe that this is coincidence.

                 

      1 mile run, 1/12/22        1 mile run, 3/16/22         1 mile run, 4/10/22


So I ask you to make up your own minds.  I know from here on out, I will do what I feel is best for my health.  Your health should be your choice; isn’t that what we’re always told by the pro-abortion crowd?
