Symptom narrative

I received my Covid and Flu vaccination on 10/16/25 at my local Pharmacy. The morning of 10/17/25. I felt Nauseous, chest discomfort, headache, back pain, and occasionally unbalanced on my feet. Now my medical history includes heart & Lung disease, and I've had two previous hospitalization due to low sodium in blood (Hyponetremia). My sodium levels two weeks ago were 134-135 or so. And have been that way for at least three months or more. I went to my local ER the next day (10/18/25) (Medical Center. Because the symptoms had not subsided, and seemed to get worse. I was seen by Dr. and told my sodium level was 126 which is quite low compared to normal range of mid 130's where I was the previous 3 months. Since I've been hospitalized before with this diagnosis I know what the first line of treatment is. (Fluid restriction, furosemide, and sodium chloride tablets) so at my request Dr. discharged me to start that treatment regimen, and to notify my Nephrologist Dr. which I have done an he agreed with the treatment, and ordered new bloodwork in two weeks. I still have slightly worse shortness of breath, than I had before the vaccination, and have had some mild fatigue and muscle aches & weakness, different from what I've experienced before due to my lung disease. I'm convinced that the Flu & Covid vaccines had something to do with how I've felt (Symptoms) since the 10/16/25 vaccination date. Please look into this, and contact me anytime for any further information or assistance. Thank you.
