Healthy 27yr old F with hypothyroidism. Just got my flu shot today in my left arm about 3pm. Since about 30min after shot, numbness has grown from my left arm to my face. Should I be concerned? Is this an allergic reaction? I got my flu vaccine last year and did not have this issue.
Hello thank you for posting your query in HMC. hypothyroidism treatment depends on TSH levels. flu shot can cause numbness in few cases. i would suggest you to consult a physician if the numbness persists for long time.if it is associated with muscle weakness,pain, tingling sensation, emergency medical treatment is required. normal side effects of flu shot include pain,redness,soreness at the site of injection. hope i have answered your query.
