It does seem like getting the booster correlates with elevated heart rates.
Was back at Judo yesterday, and felt I had to slow down; my heart was beating mad quick. Friends seem to agree — one started running 2 weeks after, and saw a highly elevated heart rate, so she stopped.

I wonder if this is an immune system thing, or a booster specific thing, or what — perhaps returning to exercise after a bout of fever feels the same way?

Update: went to the gym yesterday and today; everything seems back to normal again.

Same with me. Consistently higher heart rate (and lower hrv too), 2 weeks after booster.
Didn't have this with the first or second dose, strangely.

I took special joy in looking at the accounts that retweeted this and blocking each and every single one of them.

It would be interesting if FitBit/Oura/Apple Watch could show this by tagging the day you had the booster and comparing benchmarks before and after perhaps.

I’ve had the booster & had covid afterwards.
According to Apple Watch data my heart rate range has been steady through both events and after

It’s probably just me then! My Apple Watch data shows higher resting heart rate, but I’ve not actually exercised with it on yet (not allowed to wear watch during Judo; I should probably go for a run).

Extremely difficult to tell the mechanisms of why. We'll know in some years, hopefully. The body is a complex machine.

Agreed. Not complaining, just making an observation. <3 I’m still totally grateful the vaccine exists.

Very curious. Haven't gotten the booster but every so often noticed elevated heart rate when training/running.
definitely not common for me now, but does raise some interesting questions for long term effects
