Ectopic after shingles shot

50 years old and had to get the shingles shot this year. Got my second shot yesterday and I feel pretty good other than a lot more ectopic than average. Periods of calm and then periods of 5-10 a minute. Annoying. Anyone else experience this?

The shingles vaccine is notorious for producing reactions (fever, chills, etc) the day after. That's just your immune system firing up in response to the vaccine, but it potentially could amp up your heart and make it extra twitchy for a day or so. I think almost any vaccine can do that.

Was thinking it could be the case. They asked me if I wants the flu vaccine at the same time and I thought to myself, that’ll probably put me in afib. LOL. Either way I declined as I’m scheduled to get it at work in a week or so.
