I had chest pains for the first time in my life in 2021 and I’m in late 20’s. Doctor couldn’t find anything. Felt much better after a month. But it came back after getting a booster.

I had COVID confirmed in 2020 with no such issues. For me, as far as i can tell, the chest pains are more correlated with the vaccinations. I’m rather grumpy at the idea of getting additional boosters.

Same for me (30), second dose gave me chest pains for 4/5 days. Doc did the standard checks and came back with nothing. First time I have ever experienced anything like this. I will not be ever injecting myself with another rna based "vaccine" again.

I've had a similar experience... Long before COVID 19 existed. Stress remains a risk factor with a much higher prevalence than COVID or vaccine induced myocarditis

Surprisingly I am having the same symptoms. Like I can feel chest pain during cycling and hours after I am done. This was not the case earlier.

I haven't got it checked yet. I am gonna do that soon.

Sorry about the chest pain, but I don't think a guess that vaccines caused chest pains - something that many people have experienced long before Coronavirus and vaccines - informs the conversation.

Did the guys who did the study control for vaccination status? Seems very relevant to the conversation. It’s a proven fact a small portion of recipients experience heart issues after getting one of the mRNA vaccines.

Did they?

How many? It's a proven fact that a small portion of people drown in their bathtubs, die of lightening strikes, and win the lottery.

I’m asking. If you don’t know the answer to my question you can say so.

Sometimes people experience very low probability events. Sometimes those events are random. Sometimes they’re not. It seems like vaccination status is a confounding variable that should have been controlled for.

You misspelled lightning, by the way.

It's possible they are related, or also possible just coincidence. When I was 31 or 32 I had a bout of crazy chest pains. Did all the tests, got all the EKGs... end result was Dr told me I was fine, lay off the stress. Has not come back, so I think it was just a reminder to take care of my flesh bag a big better.

I'm sorry you had that experience with vaccines. I know it won't make much difference to you personally, but the truth is that these sorts of chest pains and heart problems are far more common in immune-naive people who are infected with covid than in people who get vaccines.

Could you drop a link to some research for side effects of immune-naive infection versus vaccine? I've read the latest on the Pfizer side effects but have nothing to compare it to for immune-naive infection effects and rate of those kinds of symptoms.

Citation needed!

In fact, there is more and more data every day the EXACT opposite is true.

You demand citations from the parent, and then immediately make an opposing claim without providing any citations.

Lots of signals coming from the VAERS system [1]? And a few studies to take a look at below. I'd be curious what folks think about these studies.

In any case none of this compares to post-infection heart issue stats but it seems to me that there should be more research in this area.

"Myocarditis Cases Reported After mRNA-Based COVID-19 Vaccination in the US From December 2020 to August 2021" [2]

"Epidemiology of Acute Myocarditis/Pericarditis in Hong Kong Adolescents Following Comirnaty Vaccination" [3]
