After watching Hayden Crozier
suffer a sudden loss of consciousness at half time and then hooked up to an ECG monitor, the question is being asked by a lot of people was it Covid related or due to a vaccine side effect.
Personally I have suffered from a vaccine side effect after getting my second Pfizer dose back in October. It led to months of chest pain, irregular heart beat, shortness of breath, dizziness and all symptoms made much worse with the slightest physical exertion.
I went from running 5-6km twice a week at training and 8-10 kms on game days playing in the midfield, to not being able to keep up with my 60yo mother on a 100m walk and my heart racing out of control.
After 3 months rest I started training again, building my fitness back slowly and cautiously. I suffered a few setbacks with symptoms returning after particularly hard sessions. My season starts again in April, and I am faced with the prospect of returning to play while also considering my safety.
Seeing Crozier hooked up to an ECG and hearing of soccer players around the world dropping dead on the pitch has put serious fear in my mind about what could happen.
I would love to hear from others in a similar situation, or anecdotes of local athletes who have recently suffered with vaccine side effects or an incident similar to Hayden Crozier
.
I know this is a touchy subject for many, so please refrain from attacking other points of view, but I do believe it is a topic that needs further open discussion.
