I'd appreciate an answer if someone else developed similar side effects.
First, I got heart pain and balance issues (2 days after).
At the same time, I got a stiff neck shivering and spasmodic pain shooting into the back of my head.
Five days after, I got unbearable spasmodic pain in the middle of my back.
Now it is two weeks after the vaccines, and I have spasmodic pain in another location of my middle back, in the spine area. The neck pain is gone.
I use a heating pad like ‘non stop’ \and I lie down, in the meantime, I am done with taking Methocarbamol 2x4.
My GP prescribed me today Cyclobenzaprine 1x2. It’s not helping.
No tingling in fingers or legs, no balance issues anymore. However I think it is not Guillan-Barre syndrome. I never had any reactions after receiving vaccines. I did not injure my back or did not overused it in any way. I reported this to the government website.
I’d appreciate it if you could let me know when someone else had such an experience.
Adverse Reactions after high-dose quadrivalent flu shot and Moderna Covid-19 booster?

Remember, heart burn is better than heart ache. Lets go Brandon!
You pose the question as though you got the flu shot and the Covid booster at the same time. There is no way to know which or whether either of them presented you with side effects. Since you posted the question in the Angina forum, I would suspect part of it is anxiety syndrome of some kind. Did you treat the heart pain... what with? Are you taking a nitrate for angina? What other drugs are you taking? What does your GP say about the initial heart pain? Lastly, when you were injected, did the nurse aspirate the syringe and check for blood? Direct infusion of Moderna into your bloodstream might have unknown effects on the heart. Keep asking your GP. I assume due to the high dose influenza vaccine, you are in my age bracket. The high dose I have taken over the last 10 or 12 years or so has never bothered me except mildly at the injection site. I wouldn't recommend anyone take 2 or more vaccines at the same time. Too hard to troubleshoot if anything goes wrong.
Thank you, @cebtoo!
You’re right, there’s impossible to know which one caused the side effects.
I wasn’t aware that it would appear in different forums.
Yes, heart pain was at the beginning, after two days, and it’s gone, terrifying pain. I had a kind of breathing issue together with heart pain.
I take just what I stated, levothyroxine, Olmesartan, and Simvastatin.
Yes, 65 is my age.
I got a flu shot once before. It didn’t cause anything that time.
I still have the spasmodic nerve pain in the back.
I can’t take anything today: I need to drive my husband to cancer surgery and, of course, go back.
Thanks again.
In addition to my initial comments: From CDC dot gov "CDC and its partners are actively monitoring reports of myocarditis and pericarditis after COVID-19 vaccination. Active monitoring includes reviewing data and medical records and evaluating the relationship to COVID-19 vaccination.
Myocarditis is inflammation of the heart muscle, and pericarditis is inflammation of the outer lining of the heart. In both cases, the body’s immune system causes inflammation in response to an infection or some other trigger. Learn more about myocarditis and pericarditis.external icon Seek medical care if you or your child have symptoms of these conditions within a week after COVID-19 vaccination.
What You Need to Know
Cases of myocarditis reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS)external icon have occurred:
After mRNA COVID-19 vaccination (Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna), especially in male adolescents and young adults,
More often after the second dose
Usually within several days after vaccination
Most patients with myocarditis or pericarditis who received care responded well to medicine and rest and felt better quickly.
Patients can usually return to their normal daily activities after their symptoms improve. Those who have been diagnosed with myocarditis should consult with their cardiologist (heart doctor) about return to exercise or sports. More information will be shared as it becomes available.
Both myocarditis and pericarditis have the following symptoms:
Chest pain
Shortness of breath
Feelings of having a fast-beating, fluttering, or pounding heart
Seek medical care if you or your child have any of these symptoms, especially if it’s within a week after COVID-19 vaccination.
If you have any health problems after vaccination, report them to VAERSexternal icon.

I have nerve spasms in my back occasionally, and I sympathize... mine often bring me to my knees. Mine is (in simple terms) osteoarthritis in my spine. As for you, did your doctor rule out a kidney stone Presenting like a "nerve" spasm? Again, I am not a trained medical person of any kind.
