heart

I had dental surgery 2 weeks ago and during the surgery my heart stopped.  The dr. and to give me adrenaline and once the surgery was done he told me a just had an anxiety attack.  I felt like there was more to it.  Can anyone please help me on the subject. thanks

I have a law degree but I'm not a lawyer (I've never attempted a bar exam).  This is not legal advice:

Sever contact with the doctor in question.  Contact a malpractice attorney and let him deal with it.  He needs to find out how long your heart was stopped and under what conditions.  He'll consult with an expert to determine if there's a possibility of long-term complications.  This doctor may need to be taken out of circulation.

And I'm not a doctor but I do have panic disorder and have done a lot of research on it.  Just backing up what RCA said: I've never, ever heard of a panic attack stopping a person's heart.

I am with Ryan your Doc must be crazy because your heart doesn't just stop there is something else wrong and i don't think its anxiety .I really never heard of anyones heart giving out with anixety attack but then again i am not a Doc i don't know just very uncommon.So if i was you i would go to another Doc to get a check up..
