New Twist: Women’s Workout Caution After COVID‑19 Shot
In a surprising turn, the Expert Committee on Covid‑19 Vaccination has updated its safety playbook. They previously warned anyone who’d just received a vaccine to steer clear of any heavy lifting or marathon‑style training for at least a week. That rule mostly hit teenagers and men under 30.
The Unexpected Incident:
- Local celebrity Naomi Yeo, a beloved actress, felt a tight chest crunch after a quick workout right after her jab.
- This has opened the floor to new questions: Are women just as vulnerable?
A Quick Take on the New Guidance
While the committee’s earlier message was clear, the latest anecdotes suggest the warning may need to extend beyond age or gender lines. Moms, fitness enthusiasts, and anyone who likes to keep sweat flowing—take a breath. The post‑vaccination body may still be adjusting, and an intense workout can trigger a mild reaction.
Bottom Line
Don’t let the jitters stop you from staying active, but give your body a gentle pause for the first week after your shot. Listen to your heart—literally—and stay safe.

Why She Chose Instagram Stories

- The Whisper of Pain—On Monday evening, a sudden tightness in her chest began as a gentle “squeeze” but escalated into a sharp, alarming pressure.
- Hospital Check‑In—By Tuesday night, the discomfort was undeniable, prompting Ben to whisk her to a hospital for answers.
Naomi Shares Her Tale
“I started feeling tightness in my chest on Monday evening, and what felt like a gentle squeeze turned into something painful,” she confided. “By Tuesday night, I couldn’t deny this pressure on my chest, and Ben sent me to the hospital to get some answers.”

‘Long story short, I’m ok, and no, I don’t have myocarditis’
Naomi Yeo’s Real-World Vaccine Experience
Naomi Yeo recently shared a heartfelt update with her fans, letting them know that despite the chest pains she felt after her second jab, she was free from myocarditis. The discomfort, she clarified, stemmed from the vaccination itself.
What the Doctor Taught Her
Her doctor revealed that a quick post‑vaccination burst of exercise—or lack thereof—had been the real culprit. “If I’d indulged in some light activity after my second shot, all of this could have been avoided,” she said. Now she’s on muscle relaxants to counter the tightness that’s persisting.
In a candid reflection, Naomi wrote, “I’m sitting here with my thoughts, wondering why I couldn’t have just waited a week. This scare just isn’t worth it, and I should’ve known better.” She’s urging her followers to treat themselves with the same caution.
Yeo’s Friendly nudge to Fans
“Please take care,” Naomi advised. “If you’ve had your shot, learn from me. Just keep yourself accountable!” Our celebrity is keen on seeing everyone stay safe.
Expert Committee’s Official Guidance
- For all vaccinated persons, especially adolescents and younger men, who receive any dose of the mRNA COVID‑19 vaccines, avoid strenuous activity for one week post‑vaccination.
- During that week, seek medical attention promptly if you develop chest pain, shortness of breath, or irregular heartbeats.
Takeaway: Slow and Steady
So if you’re gearing up for that second jab, remember Naomi’s story and keep it easy. Light walks, gentle stretching—just stay in the safe zone.
