Another questionable dental problem
by tallercaller, Nov 18, 2007 12:05AM
This is quite smiliar to a question posed on 11/07, regarding a racing heart. I had a root canal done three days ago and the day afterward, experienced a wildly changing blood pressure, heart rate and high (for me--102-degrees) temperature. A stop at an "in-and-out" clinic suggested infection from the dental work, with an antibiotic and a pain killer perscribed. A trip back to the dentist the next day solved nothing. I'd had a full cardiac arrest 11-months ago and have made a strong recovery with little problem, until now. A tooth had been pulled by a different dentist with no after-effect, could that ingredient in the numbing agent be the cause of my problem? By the way, it is still swollen and painful but my temp.; BP & pulse are all OK.

Always tell your dentist that you want a shot WITHOUT epinephrine. Epinephrine can raise BP and heart rate in certain people.
