Resting heart rate increases for some people as a reaction to the COVID vaccine.

The researchers collected data from more than 4,000 Americans using a smartphone-based app that reports on physiological activities from smartwatches, and found that some people experience increased heart rate as a reaction to the vaccine.

According to the study, the researchers found that some people's resting heart rate increased up to an additional 1.5 beats per minute (BPM) after receiving a dose of either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine.

Vaccine recipients who had been infected with COVID experienced higher heart rates.

According to the study, people who had been previously infected experienced heart rate increases of more than 1.5 BPM after the first dose between the first and fifth day after vaccination.

For the second dose, both those previously infected and those who hadn't had COVID saw an increase of more than 1.5 BPM between the first and fifth day after vaccination."We identified a rapid rise in heart rate the day after vaccination, and one that was more robust after the second dose, unless the participant had prior COVID-19 infection," the researchers stated in the study.RELATED: This Vaccine Side Effect Could Mean You Already Had COVID, New Study Says.
