View allI've been worried about getting the COVID vaccine because of some heart issues. My father had an angiogram back in 2012, and though he's not on any medication now, I've occasionally felt mild heart pain that seems to go away after a bit. I'm really unsure about whether it's safe for me to get the vaccine given these concerns. Can you offer any advice on this? Is there a risk involved?
It is important to consult with a cardiologist before taking any decision regarding the Covid vaccination. However, based on the information provided, it is generally safe for individuals with a history of angiogram to receive the Covid vaccine. The benefits of vaccination in preventing severe illness and complications from Covid-19 outweigh the potential risks. It is recommended to take the vaccine to protect yourself from the virus. You can consider taking the vaccine like Covishield or Covaxin with the standard dosage schedule.
