This afternoon I noticed a weird lump/bump on the left side of my neck. It hurts to touch it and to swallow. I do have 2 or 3 thyroid nodules but I had a biopsy and they were bengin. I also just got my latest covid vaccine and flu shot on Monday. Not sure that would cause anyrhing like this.

Does anyone know what this could be related to?

Also large chunks of food keep coming up and getting stuck in my throat when I hiccup and stuff. This all recent.

If you just got vaccines 2 days ago, its probably a swollen gland. Did you get both shots in the same arm? Are they still hot and bumpy? Are you massaging them? Is that the side of your neck thats swollen?

I had it once, in 2017, and my internist attributed it to the flu shot I had just gotten. It went away on its own. But you need to get it checked out.

Its ok now. You guys are probably right and it was just a side effect thing. This vaccine was rough side effect wise.

I was sick for a whole month from my vaccines, they were 2 weeks apart. Just really low energy, sore arms, nasal congestion.

I've been really aggravated all day. Just irritated and stuff but nothing in particular. Its not like me. I don't think its the vaccine but I'm not sure I have had low energy all day too.

Glad your lump is gone,. I felt really tired after my last vaccine. It'll go away, too. I'm so glad your symptoms must be vaccine-related. Now you can go back to drinking your Mountain Dews without worry. Where do you get all those flavors, by the way?

I'm sorry you felt tired too. Today is the first day since I got the vaccines that I actially feel like myself

I just get the Mountain Dews from my local grocery stores and walmarts. I've ordered some rare flavors on Ebay a couple times and they had an online only thing a couple times so I had to order them from the Mountain Dew website.
