    Had the flu shot and was dizzy for four days
    Earlier this year I had the flu shot from my new doctor. My old one went into research. After the shot I was dizzy for four days. Then I got sick for a month couldn't smell or taste anything. Could that be a reaction from the flu shot? I am not sure if I should get another one if it has the same results

    Sometimes there are severe reactions to the flu shot, so you could have had a reaction. You should always talk to your doctor immediately if you have a reaction to any treatment. Even if you aren't certain about the cause of your ills, talk to your doctor so he can determine if you are allergic.

    Best advice for this years shot: Talk to your current doctor and explain your concerns. He/she will be best able to provide an informed opinion.

    Thanks Walt. I am going to call her Monday and speak with her. From that experience I don't think I would want another shot

    Talked to my doctor and her nurse. They said that's strange reaction. I told her I was healthy before the shot. She said its my choice if I get it or not. I think not. Don't want to go through that drama again
