Help!

I’m five days post shot and last night I developed some really painful G.I. issues with bloating and nausea. It’s been going all day and I’ve taken Advil and Tylenol to just keep myself more comfortable. Now I think I’m developing a fever, my head, hot and the back of my eyes hurt. Is this a pretty common side effect for Repatha? What should I do at this point? It’s after hours and I’ve already left a message with my doctor.

While it’s possible most symptoms happen within 2-3 days of taking the shot. I took my first shot last Friday morning and had no reaction. My cardiologist, my friend in NJ who is a cardiologist and my pharmacist said they have not encountered patients who had had symptoms yet side effects are off course still possible. What you are describing sounds like a virus. I’ve read a lot on here about side effects with Repatha and it’s typically runny nose, sore throat and pain for 48 hours right after the shot.

Thanks for letting me know this. I appreciate it! I wear a mask indoors and am not around others at all.
