What Causes Rapid Heart Rate After Taking Immunization Shots In A Child?

My 12 yr old daughter just had 2 immunizations 3 days ago and she has complained today of her heart racing once and she said she felt like she was in a dream at school for about an hour today.. She is also on her menstrual cycle.. She has always been a very healthy and active child.. Should I be concerned??

Hi,

It is quite common immediately after intramuscular injection.

Some kids experience fever also.

Nothing much to worry and it will settle by itself.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
