TTS is the rare side effects of Covishield vaccine. Know everything about it. TTS means Thrombosis Thrombocytopenia syndrome. It is a rare but serious condition. It is linked to some COVID-19 vaccines, like AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen vaccine. It causes blood clots and low platelet levels. Platelets help with clotting. These clots can happen in unusual places like the brain or abdomen.
TTS symptoms
The symptoms of the thrombosis thrombocytopenia syndrome are as follows;
- Severe and continuous headaches
- Blurred vision
- Shortness of breath
- Angina pectoris
- Continuous stomach ache
- Swelling in the legs
It’s important to know that sometimes after getting a vaccine, some people may experience easy bruising or tiny blood spots under their skin, not just at the injection site. This is called TTS. It stands for thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome. It’s a rare condition where blood clots can form in the brain or other parts of the body, along with having a low platelet count. If someone experiences these symptoms within a few weeks of getting vaccinated, it’s really important for them to seek medical help right away. The sooner it’s recognized and treated, the better it can be managed.
