Avatar m tn My wife had seizure about 1 minute after her dentist injected her with lidocaine and epinephrine. The seizure lasted for about 1-2 minutes, her by blood pressure dropped to 90/55. She was very pale. What's interesting is that my wife is epileptic, but 18 months ago she was prescribed lamictal daily. Herr seizures stopped. This lidocaine induced seizure was the first in 18months.
Avatar m tn It does appear that the concoction of medication, the MDMA pill and having a consumption of alcohol was not a very good mix. As Momof3Gramof2 suggests - do NOT take any drugs or drink alcohol when you are being given shots by your chiro, and don't use any medications that are not prescribed to you by your doctor. Some medications do cause bad side effects if taken with other medications.
Avatar n tn It is less painful than a root canal shot at the endodontist was my experience. However, every FNA is different but most are not too bad .. some pressure and poking and finished. Sorry your sample wasn't good .. but so important to have a clean sample so you can find out what's wrong. What are your symtpoms? Nodules?
Avatar f tn My dentist gives me my shot and see another patient, by the time he got back to me I was fully numb. and the numbness last for 8 - 12 hours. I am highly allergic to lidocaine it puts me into anaphylactic shock, I have an epipen but sa that I don't have to use that I just make sure everyone is doing their job and I always wear my medic alert bracelet.
Avatar n tn Patients with IC typically complain of worsening pain/pressure when they are on their feet all day. It may have to do with the upright position putting pressure on the bladder and pelvic floor muscles. Narcotics can help. Have you tried the lidocaine instillations into the bladder? I have a patient who instills buffered lidocaine into her bladder at home when leaving the house and gets a few hour of relief, enough to do her exercise and out of the house activities pain free.
Avatar n tn I looked it up and it's a topical spray with an antimicrobial ingredient (benzethonium chloride) and a pain reliever (lidocaine). I don't see anything that would interfere with actual clotting mechanism in the body as a whole. The best thing to do is ask your doctor or pharmacist before using this.
Avatar n tn t seen any responses since the original inquiries) I went to an allergist and they did small injections into the upper arm and I immediately had the flushing, rapid heart beat, high blood pressure, shaking ect... and this lasts for several hours and then I feel worn out for days. the allergist said that they typically look for a reaction on the skin, which I only had a little redness. Where can someone find help for this life threatening condition? Please help!
383138 tn?1314167773 Does anyone know if it is dangerous to get lidocaine IV infusion (for pain) when I have multiple daily heart arrhythmias, tachycardia, bradycardia, PVCs, PSVTs, PACs, SVEs, and also fluctuating blood pressure problems. (I am also on toprol xl daily). I had severe heart reaction to lidocaine from a dental injection in the past, so they wont use it on me any more. But now my pain dr. wants to do a lidocaine IV infusion, he says IV infusion of lidocaine is different than the dental injection.
Avatar f tn It was the most horrifying experience I have ever gone through as the lidocaine had absolutely no effect and versed does not work on me so I had full feeling of surgery from the initial incision to the creation of the pocket into my muscle and placement of the pacemaker. My heart rate and blood pressure had been dropping to critical levels. A BP of 60/40 at night and a heart rate in the low to mid thirties was commonplace.
Avatar n tn They use a soft flexible tube, smaller than the diameter of a pencil (but not much smaller) and insert it through your urethra and into your bladder. There is a small camera within it and your bladder is slightly filled with sterile water as the scope looks around your bladder. They check the walls and the opening to the urethra coming out of the bladder. I agree with the 2 other commenters...if the doctor cannot or will not use anesthesia, or even lidocaine...seek another urologist that will.
Avatar f tn If you have high blood pressure, this medicine may not be the right fit even if it is controlled by blood pressure medications. And over time, NSAIDs increase blood pressure so that is a long term side effect that should be considered. If you are going to start a powerful NSAID like Celebrex, I would recommend that you purchase a home blood pressure monitoring kit to periodically check your bp while on this medication.
Avatar n tn I understand about anatomic variations and fully believe this seizure was caused by lidocaine essentially hitting a vein and numbing my girls' brain and not her tooth; BUT, 1)This is apparently a 'rare' event, How often does it occur and does she have an increased (any?)chance of this event happening again? Or the same chance as everybody else? 2) Is she prone to seizures and this event "set her off"? 3) She still needs this lower molar filled, now what? Other drugs?
Avatar n tn when i got home my bp was 143 over 100 and my heart rate was 104...then i went to the kitchen and check my blood pressure standing up it was 139 over 93 was a heart rate of 129 just standing does anybody know wht this is happening..is it the extraction and how much blood i swollowed or is it the antibotics ...what my friends please help!..
Avatar n tn s method was much better with relief from pressure and pain almost immediately and no residual soreness from the draining. I was sore for 2 days when his partner did it. (But still had relief from the pressure of the seroma.) I also have a small pucker in my otherwise utterly smooth scar. Best of luck to your wife and you. I also had chemo and am still taking Herceptin and Zometa. Hair is growing back and my arm use and movement is almost back to normal.
Avatar n tn I CANT UNDERSTAND WHY THE DENTIST DOESNT LOOK BETTER TO SEE IF ITS ANY COMPLICATIONS AND ANY BLOOD AND THEN IF ITS SAFE TO PROCEED.?I AM A NURSE AND I GIVE INJECTION BUT MY DUTY OF CARE IS TO SEE IF ITS SAFE TO NOT AFFECTING ANY PATIENT IN ANY WAY.
419964 tn?1333301906 im almost 20 weeks, the last couple days ive been having really bad pain in my mouth from two seperate teeth,i cant sleep at night it keeps me awake is it safe to go to the dentists or should i wait till after the babys born??? I Also have high blood pressure would they still see me??
Avatar f tn Should I consult my doc or what. I used dibucaine ointment and am contemplating lidocaine jelly. Any other tx options would be appreciated.
Avatar f tn So I have really bad vaginismus to the point where intercourse can only be done with a lot of lidocaine and with the help of dilators. I am 15 weeks pregnant and concerned about delivery. Will my vaginismus prevent me from vaginal delivery? Is anyone else dealing with or has dealt with this??
673999 tn?1226935279 One is Lidocaine 2 % Gel, Marccain, Kenalog and Heprin. The second is 1% Injectable Lidocaine, Sodium Bicarbonate and they add your Elmiron. I've had both extensively and found them to be a tremendous help. You'll need to see a doctor in The Urology Group. Some of the doctors are better with IC than others, read their bios on their website and look for one the mentions female urology not prostrate surgery. Here's the URL to their website http://www.theurologygroup.cc/index.asp.
Avatar n tn I believe the Inderal helped to cause this reaction because I used to be able to handle local dental anaesthetics without a problem prior to the Inderal.I have had problems with high blood pressure in the past and a history of heart arrhythmias P.A.C.S....ETC.I still get them daily at about 10 or so a day.I need to find a safe local anaesthetic or an alternative..Also a way to cleanse my system of the drug after surgery so that it won't get into my system and cause problems with my heart.
Avatar n tn Slightly uncomfortable and the littlest bit painful with a feeling of pressure, but very much bearable. And then it was over! After the FNA (I had it in the morning), I had to press down on my thyroid for about half an hour to prevent swelling/haematoma. The doctor advised me to avoid exercise for 3 days. He gave me a medical certificate but I went to work immediately after the FNA.
Avatar m tn Hey all, thanks for your valuable answers, I'll cut to the case. I'm a general doctor and a few hrs ago I was suturing a deep hand cut. When injecting lidocaine, some of it, probably mixed with the patient's blood drops, spurted and landed on my face (around the mouth I believe) and glasses. I wiped it and then washed everything off, after I came around from the small shock. Do I run a risk of getting an infection?
Avatar f tn ve had quite a few stellate ganglion blocks and have had some success. They thought the lidocaine infusion might help the other pain I deal with and kill two (or more) birds at the same time so to speak. KittKat23-78, Sorry the infusion didn't help you!! I hadn't heard about having several a few days apart; I'll have to ask about it. Mine is (at least one) being paid for by worker's comp. I'm hopeful but also trying to keep things realistic and in perspective.
1571533 tn?1322943509 Hey. I went to my PCP yesterday and he gave me a LIDODERM, a lidocaine patch, to try and help with the pain in my neck -he thinks if that calms down so will the migraines.. theyve been everyday constantly for well over a month and a half, and no meds help.. nor do therapeutic methods i have here at home.. Has anyone here used it before? And did it help? I tried to use it last night but it wouldnt stick to my neck.
