Hi,

Common side effects of the flu shot include:
Soreness, redness, and/or swelling from the shot.
Headache.
Fever.
Nausea.
Muscle aches.

Signs of a severe allergic reaction can include:
Difficulty breathing
Hoarseness or wheezing
Swelling around the eyes or lips
Hives
Paleness
Weakness
A fast heartbeat or dizziness
Life-threatening allergic reactions to the flu shot are rare. These signs would most likely happen within a few minutes to a few hours after the vaccine is given.

We can't know if chest heaviness is related to the flu shot, it might be, though it's not listed above. Check with your doctor.
