You should get tested for Covid. Symptoms can be relatively mild in those who are vaccinated so the symptoms you describe could be due to Covid. If you test positive for Covid, you would want to postpone your third dose until 10 days after the positive test or when your symptoms resolve, whichever is longer. If you test negative, go and get your 3rd dose as scheduled! Best of luck to you!
