> I had this happen to me - started experiencing severe chest pain 2 days post-Pfizer. Subsequently saw a cardiologist after months of pain and his comment to me was "I'm seeing young people like you daily and your cases are going widely underreported"

Orthogonal to the original conversation but have your cardiologist consultations yielded anything?

I also have chest pain for now more than 2 months after the second dose of the Biontech mRNA vaccine, but the tests revealed nothing abnormal. A few people in my entourage have been having similar symptoms but theirs has since receeded.

It doesn't help that search engine results for anything close to "Covid-19 Vaccine Chest Pain" are overran by both antivax conspiracy theorists and obvious propaganda. I couldn't find concrete information save from a few disparate accounts of similar conditions[1], despite the apparent frequency of those symptoms.

For me it took 6 months before the pain was reduced to "infrequent", I'm back to exercising almost to the full extent now as I was in July.

I received a diagnosis of pericarditis and had persistent tachycardia, mildest strain and my heart rate would shoot to 170 BPM not going below 85 while lying down. Now I'm back to normal and my resting heart rate is now 50-55 BPM.

Despite large population and supposedly lots of data, CDC was very slow to notice this.
