A member asked:

4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Absolutely get the 2nd shot. However, would check with a Cardiologist to run some tests beforehand. Very (very) rare episodes of heart inflammation (“myocarditis”) after Moderna (and Pfizer) vaccines - more common (but still very rare) after natural Coronavirus infection.

In light of the symptoms, and left ventricular enlargement on an EKG, it would be appropriate to see a cardiologist prior to the 2nd vaccine; it's important to make sure one's blood pressure is normal, and to ensure there's no valve problem to explain the left ventricular enlargement.
