1399363 tn?1462342610 It's possible to get tachycardia from novocaine unless it had epinephrine in it. Have you been getting it each time you went? If so, it may be in your best interests to call your dentist or cardiologist and report your tachycardia.
Avatar f tn An increase in sympathetic nervous system stimulation causes the heart rate to increase, both by the direct action of sympathetic nerve fibers on the heart and by causing the endocrine system to release hormones such as epinephrine (adrenaline), which have a similar effect. Increased sympathetic stimulation is usually due to physical or psychological stress.
Avatar n tn s your responsibility to imform the dentist that epinephrine will cause tachycardia(fast heart beat). Lidocaine without epinphrine generally yields shorter duration of anesthesia.However, the condition is much easier to manage than a cardiac crisis.In today's practice of root canal treatment, infection is rarely encountered if you see a competent endodontist.
Avatar m tn I went to my family doctor and she check my thyroid. Those results came back good. So I asked her to check my epinephrine levels because it almost seems like i have too much adrenaline. Those results cam back slightly high so she referred me to an endocrinologist. She also put me on 50mg of metoprolol (beta blocker). This medicine worked really good in beginning but several months later I am starting to have high blood pressure and high heart rate.
Avatar f tn Lidocane has epinepherine in it, which makes the medication work better, but it also stimulates the heart to beat faster, which is why you felt the sudden onset of tachycardia. When the dentist gives me lidocane, I have the same reaction....rapid heart rate and mild palpitations for a short time. I have problems with svt episodes in the past. My suggestion to you is to not use the lidocane again if it bothers you. I doubt the lidocane has hurt your heart in any way....
Avatar f tn Have you had your thyroid and those adrenal hormones: epinephrine, norepinephrine, metanephrine and normetanephrine levels checked? Do you have any additional symptoms that you think might be unrelated to menopause, such as shortness of breath with exertion?
Avatar n tn Lidocaine used as an anesthetic often has a small amount of epinephrine in the solution. The amount is so small that I have never heard of it causing tachycardia, although this is theoretically possible. Lidocaine and epinephrine is used in the suturing of millions of wounds every year with no cardiac events. My guess is that that is a coincidence here. The temporary fast heart rate in the absence of chest pain, pressure or other symptoms should have no long-lasting effects whatsoever.
787406 tn?1339203183 My own level was more moderately elevated in the past, but it is not believed I have a pheo but I believe it is owing to my postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, as I think (not dr. verified) I had the hyperadrenergic form. Stress, if the doctor means anxiety stress, would surely effect your EPINEPHRINE level- how is that one?
Avatar n tn 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.

Avatar n tn You will want to find out what type of tachycardia you have- for example -is it sinus tachycardia or supraventricular tachycardia? If no physical cause for a sinus tachycardia can be found, they might tell you you have "IST" or inappropriate sinus tachycardia. This is a form of dysfunction of your autonomic nervous system and if they tell you this is what you have, you may want to come check out medhelp's forum for dysautonomia!
Avatar f tn I have been to 5 cardiologist and 2 electro cardiologist as well as a therapist- they have not been able to positively diagnosis me. Holter monitors for a full month twice..showing about 3-8 times a day of tachycardia lasting anywhere from a few seconds to 2 hours.I have already had an ablation attempted to be done. And been on 20 different beta blockers. I am currently taking 5mg of lexapro. Previously on cardizem but not now. I have had a table tilt test that was negative. I'll take .
Avatar m tn he said arythmias and steroids do not get along at all...Cortizone shots makes my heart skip beats....so I avoid any kind od steroid...plus epinephrine is even worse,,,,so you sure don't want to let your dentist use epinephrine to deaden your tooth area..it will cause you a worse problem most likely if steroids bother you...bottom line...lots of doctors don't know or at least don't ask ..hope this helps have a good day ..
383138 tn?1314167773 Are you sure it wasnt the epinephrine that caused it? (Epi caused tachycardia) Usually anesthesia is a combo of numbing and epi.
Avatar f tn Went to the ER last Thursday for mild anaphylaxis to tree nut allergy. The nurse gave me epinephrine by IV instead of IM. Causing me to have v tacardia. Basically a heart attack. What I'm wondering is ther gonna be permement damage done I scheduled to see cardio at the VA In Pittsburgh. As I just had stress test month and a half ago And was negative. Had it done because started exercising again after 10 year layoff. Now I'm scared to no end.
Avatar f tn In local anesthetics (like those used in dentistry), it's the epinephrine that's mixed in with the anesthetic that causes the problems for most patients with dysautonomia. There are local anesthetic formulations available without epinephrine, they just last for shorter periods of time and may require higher doses for efficacy.
20794198 tn?1534529493 i layed down on the floor, dialed 999 and was telling myself this MUST be ventricular tachycardia, to happen this fast and make me this dizzy. it lasted all in all around 40 seconds or so and then my heart rate started dropping quickly, within a minute or so, i felt a normal slightly elevated heart rate, and was left severely dizzy and tired. i had a ecg 4 hours later at hospital and it showed nothing what so ever concerning.
Avatar f tn ve yet to find a medical explanation for it other than our bodies may be releasing epinephrine or nor-epinephrine causing an adrenaline rush. Has the Cleveland Clinic done any investigation into this at all? There are an awful lot of people with this problem from what I can tell. Besides avoiding the triggers, is there anything that can be done to prevent it from happening? Would lectin blockers do anything? Are beta blockers helpful in treating it if you do over do it?
Avatar f tn I avoid the epinephrine. My personal experience is that it brings on tachycardia. I know others who've gone into Afib from it. The short acting variety works fine and you can have an extra shot. I wouldn't chance it. Years ago, before Afib, I experienced an elevated hr and had to ask the dentist to stop. Now I know it was the epinephrine. It's not worth the chance it might throw you into an arrythmia.
Avatar f tn I had to get stitches last night, and was given 5-6 shots of epinephrine and lidocane. I told the intake nurse I was taking synthroid (which I presume implies thyroid problems). I felt a little "unusual" afterward (pounding heart, feeling calm and detached..), and was googling the side effects of the shot.. an article said this: "Additionally, epinephrine and lidocaine usually aren’t used in patients with thyroid disease, or disease of the kidneys or liver.
Avatar n tn I had a 2nd trimester miscarriage the day that I had a mole removed at my dermatologist. They used Epinephrine and Xylocaine and when we received the autopsy report it revealed that my baby was perfectly normal and healthy without chromosonal issues prior to him dieing in my womb that day. Has anyone experienced this or known anyone who has? I researched on the web and found many warnings about pregnant women receiving Lidocaine from the dentist but not what they gave me.
Avatar f tn So far I always got eye drops without epinephrine/or something equal to epinephrine, but this last eye doctor did not want to use any drops at all. He examined my eyes without dialating them.
Avatar m tn Hi, It is a serotonin and nor epinephrine reuptake inhibitor. The name of the neurotransmitter is nor epinephrine it is different from epinephrine. Most of the side effects occur during the period when one is taking the medication. But the important thing to remember is to follow the doctors instructions carefully. To reduce the incidence of side effects it is always started with a low dose and then it is gradually increased.
Avatar f tn Can anyone here tell me if ms has any effect on either of the hormones epinephrine or norepinephrine?
