For the first time in 37 years, two weeks ago when I received regular dental anesthetic my
heart raced and I started having palpitations. It passed of course
in a few minutes and when I went in yesterday for a root canal I asked for the anesthetic without epi. The first shot was fine, but the second injection sill caused my heart to pound hard, my chest felt shallow and made me feel a little panicy. It passed and the 3rd injection did the same.
