What Causes Dizziness And Headache After Receiving A Rhogam Shot?
28 weeks pregnant. I got a rhogam shot this morning. Around 2pm I started feeling dizzy, lightheaded, and had a headache. My abdomen started to hurt so I left work and went home in the hopes that lying down would help. At home I started experiencing joint and lower back pain (very intense). Then I got the chills and had a fever (99.1). I had diarrhea and have thrown up 3 times. I cannot get comfortable or sleep. Should I be concerned? Are these normal side effects of the rhogam shot or should I seek medical attention?
