Can I drink alcohol after getting the Covishield vaccine? I had my first dose about a week ago and I'm wondering if it's okay.
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
It's generally advisable to avoid alcohol after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine, including the Covishield (AstraZeneca) vaccine. While there is no specific evidence suggesting that alcohol directly interferes with the vaccine's effectiveness, drinking alcohol can potentially impact your immune system, which might affect how well your body responds to the vaccine.

I'm thinking about trying the REFOLLIUM capsules, but I'm a bit concerned about whether they're actually good for my health. Do they come with any side effects I should be aware of?

I've had a fever since early this morning, and it's coming down a bit. But my heart rate is staying pretty high, around 110-130 BPM. Is this usual when you have a fever, or should I be more worried about this heart rate change? I'm feeling really anxious about it. My apple watch even gave me a high heart rate alert while I was resting this evening. What should I do?
Normal, if still heart rate persists more than 100 beats per minute after fever subsides u may require an ecg and cardiac markers .
