4 days ago i had an abscessed tooth extracted. i had a mild cva 6 years ago and at that time was informed that i did have insignificant mitral valve prolapse. i informed my dentist of this fact he followed up with my doctor at the time and was told pre medication was not necessary. the tooth was extracted and tylenol #3 prescribed for pain. within 1 hour of taking the tylenol #3 i experience heart attack symptoms (severe chest pains, shortness of breath, increase in blood pressure) was taken to the hospital, enroute i was put on oxygen and given a nitro pill under my tongue and a nitro patch as well as two baby aspirin. the pain was alleviated with the nitro. in the hospital i had a lung scan and was monitered all night in pcu and then had a follow up stress test. i have had no results yet. i have no idea what happened to me and have had no explanations yet. i am a 43 year old female, i am 5'3" 115#, low cholesteral, my normal blood pressure is 90/60 i am however a moderate smoker. can u shed any light on if there is a connection between the tooth extraction and the symptoms i experienced that afternoon?
