What Causes Fatigue And Hot Flashes Post Flu Shot Administration?
I recently had the flu shot. About 10 days prior to getting the vaccine, I had about a 7-8 day period where I had loss of appetite, headaches and severe diarrhea. It was treated with immodium and levoquin (antibiotic) and after a few days things seemed to return to normal. After getting the flu shot on Monday those symptoms returned and I also have fatigue, hot flashes and joint pain. In addition I am Type II diabetic and my sugar has been higher than normal but not over 200. I take once weekly Trulicity pen . AIC has been around 6.00 What gives? Thnaks

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The hot flashes are uncommon with a flu shot. You need to go to an ER near you to assess for a possible allergic reaction. Treatment can then be advised accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
