Bit of history....Im 35, female, and overweight but I dont smoke, drink or do drugs. I had the mmr injection in my left arm on Wednesday and had the hep b injection in my right arm.

On friday I woke up with a pain where I got a sharp pain when I tried to take a deep breath above my left breast area and I had a sore shoulder too. The pain in my chest has gone but the pain in my shoulder is on and off a lot and is weird. I saw doctor on friday, as when it first happened I panicked and phoned 111, scared it was a heart attack, but doc said he thought it more likely that I had a bronchial infection and said that my jabs wouldnt have caused this to happen. He gave me antibiotics.

Could it be a reaction to the MMR which was in that arm?

In my opinion almost certainly a side effect of the MMR.

Joint pain as you experienced in your shoulder is well reported as is pain at the it of injection.

The chest pain which has now disappeared was probably due to the joint pain from your rib/sternum joints.

All will subside.

Okay, thankyou for your advice, are you a health professional? I am inclined to think it maybe the jab, but was unsure because of the pain I had in my chest.
I appreciate you taking the time to reply to me x
