What Things Do You Feel I Need To Be Concerned With And What Should I Do Hypothyroidism?

Posted on Fri, 6 Dec 2024

Question: Hi, i have medicated controlled high blood pressure and hypothyroidism and prediabetes and high cholesterol that is not being treated with medication. I've been told to take fibercon and try to exercise. I test my blood sugars daily and lately they have been running high around 128 fasting as soon as I wake up in the morning because I have been eating alot of sweets to be honest. I am 5'0 feet tall and weigh 160 pounds. My family wants me to get the Pfizer vaccine now but I'm afraid since I have all these medical concerns above. People I know have died after receiving the vaccine or they caught covid after being fully vaccinated and boosted. This really make me question should I get it? My lower backs have been hurting really bad the last few days and I'm torn with what to do.
Also, I was told that there is now a pill that could be given to me if I caught COVID and it could save your life should you get covid if you're not vaccinated. Is this true?
What things do you feel I need to be concerned with and what should I do?

Thanks

So, you are doing for me not to worry just go ahead and get Pfizer or should I get one of the other vaccinations? What concerns should I have because you make it sound like this is apiece of cake and I should not be worried even though I see and know people who have died after receiving their vaccinations.. how do you explain that??? Should I take Tylenol or anything right before getting it? I have NEVER had a vaccination so I'm concerned with how my body will respond. Thanks!

Paracetamol

Detailed Answer:
Dear Ma’am, hello again. Pfizer vaccination will do just fine and you can take paracetamol tablets after taking the vaccination to ease the symptoms. However, complications following the vaccine occurred at very low rates and can be classified as rare complications.. I hope you find this helpful
