I’ve personally known many people who have had serious medical problems that sure looked clearly like vaccine reactions.
I don’t consider it a “serious medical problem”, but I attempted to report (via the phone number on the paperwork given me by the person that administered the shot at Wallgreens) my 48 hours long migraine + ~4 day long high blood pressure (as measured by my Omron home blood pressure monitor) after getting a Pfizer booster. I was told they don’t need me to fill anything out because those are already known side-effects.
Searching Google for “does covid vaccine cause high blood pressure” just now returned Nebraska Medicine FAQ page as the first result with the following answer:
So far, no data suggests that COVID-19 vaccines cause an increase in blood pressure.
I searched the CDC’s Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) and there are 474 reported cases of abnormal blood pressure following COVID-19 vaccination. Looking further in the Google search, I found a study (n = 113) which indicated increased risk of high blood pressure after vaccination, especially after previous infection.
Plainly, not everyone in the healthcare system is on the same page about side effects. I’d err on the side of the Walgreens person you talked to being more accurate, given that high blood pressure is a known side effect. Not known by that Nebraska Medicine doctor, apparently.
If you don’t mind sharing, what vaccine(s) did you have for your previous doses, and what side effects did they cause? And had you had a previous covid infection?
(I’m wondering on behalf of a family member who is prone to awful migraines, and who I think has high blood pressure. Sorry about your symptoms by the way, I know a two-day migraine can be much more unpleasant than most people probably realise.)

Will DM with info.
Who exactly told you that?
Will DM you the number.
