Hallucinations occur when you sense something that is not really there — and having them can be a frightening side effect. Hallucinations can be seen, heard, felt, or even smelled. And while we usually associate hallucinations with recreational drugs like LSD, the Sputnik vaccine may also cause hallucinations. Other issues with Sputnik V we have seen:
- distorted visual perception of shapes, colors
- altered sounds
- anxiety and depression
- rapid heart rate
- increased body temperature
- high blood pressure
The physical effects can also include nausea, loss of appetite, increased blood sugar, difficulty sleeping, dry mouth, tremors, and seizures.
