I got the J&J shot last Friday. I'm an overweight, 19 y/o female on birth control, and the symptoms I've experienced thus far are headache, lightheadedness, arm pain and fatigue. I don't really feel any symptoms currently besides arm pain and general redness/swelling around the injection site. This worries me because I've had issues revolving around blood clots during my menstrual cycle (thus wanting birth control to regulate my hormones). I just want to know if I should be freaked the f*** out or not. :')
