s correct that local anesthetics contain both lidocaine and adrenalin (epinephrine). They both can have effects on the heart, adrenalin has an obvious effect and lidocaine is actually an antiarrhythmic drug (class 1b sodium blocker) which may have proarrhythmic effects.
The problem is - adrenalin is added to prevent the lidocaine from having systemic effects, the blood vessels are constricted. If you have reactions towards lidocaine, choosing the one without adrenalin would be bad.
They had to discontinue the Lidocaine because of heart side effects.But they finished with the other one and they thought that everything was fine and sent me home..The next day,BOOM! they hit with a vengence..P.V.C.S over and over again lasting for 3 weeks or so until they finally tapered off.They were happening around the clock when they hit and I swore if I ever lived thru it that I would never ,ever try any of the caines ever again and that any kind of PAIN was far better than this!
I got prescribed Norco, lidocaine patches, and diclofenac 75 mg. Yesterday I took Norco and I put a lidocaine patch and I woke up with weird heart sensation, like slow heart rate or something. Could it be caused by lidocaine patch? I also take the following medication:
Atorvastatin Calcium 80 Mg- 1 tab in the evening
Carvedilol 6.
i don't know what the diagnosis is for your heart problems, but i do have a remedy for heart health that is supposed to be highly preventitive for any clogged arteries by removing it.
You mix onion juice, garlic juice, lemon juice, and apple cider vinegar together. 1 cup of each, in a pot and boil it for like 20 to 30 minutes until about 3 cups of fluid remains. Then, wait until it cools and mix it in a jar with 3 cups of honey.
In a simple dental procedure, I had what I can only describe as a seizure after getting what was supposed to be lidocaine and epinephrine injection. The area never got numb, and the pain from the point of the needle each time they attempted to inject me was painful. I was taken to the ER and released after 8 hours with no explanation.
I read that lidocaine can cause a seizure. I have had injections many times with no problem. What could have gone wrong?
they do not affect the central nervous system and does not alter the mind. It is a local anesthetic and only affects the area of the patch. I have been using them for months on and off and can say with 100% confidence that they have 0 addictive properties. Be careful to only use as directed on the package (I guess that sounds weird because as addicts we NEVER take anything as directed!)
They have helped me a lot with my sciatica when it gets really painful (along with Ibuprofen of course!
Hello, My sister needs extensive dental work i.e. root canals and fillings and crowns. She is a heart patient and we are wondering if Lidocaine, EPI, or any of the 'caines' are safe for dental work in heart patients? We do not want to start an arrythmia attack. Any safe meds? Thanks much.
I was worried about the injections but my fears about the injections were unfounded and I got through 48 weeks of tx (and 40 of them with an additional shot of Procrit) without any pain from the shots.
Even in wild Wales you should have no trouble getting lidocaine ointment if you need it. Best of luck!
I have one coming up on an upper back molar. The tooth is dead and yesterday started giving me extreme pain. I just got back from the dentist now with pain killers and a root canal appt. I feel awful.
I put off having this root canal due to my fear of the procedure. I am NOT afraid of the pain...whatever, that will pass.
I am terrified of dying during the root canal! This may sound silly but I am genuinely afraid that...
Are you still having the palpitations or have they stopped? Can I ask where the shot was given? If you had the lidocaine in the summer and are still experiencing that I would definitely make sure there aren;t any undiagnosed heart anomalies. I'm doing that myself just to rule it out. I really don't like this feeling. Most doctors tell me that the lidocaine/epi should be out of my system but then why was my entire head numb for three days after?
If you responded to a person who is sick at home and that patient has not been taking their K-Dur medicine for a few days and you find your CHF patient, who had been prescribed Labetalol, Lasix and K-dur, and showed monomorphic V-tach on the monitor, would you synchonize cardiovert the patient first if he was hemodynamically unstable knowing that he is low on potassium which might convert your patient into unwanted and nonperfusing rhythm? Would we harm the patient if we shock them?
Hello... nice to meet you all...
I go directly to the question okay?
I just need some opinion...
I'm a medical doctor, and 3 hours ago I'm working on some nail extraction to a 40y.o female patient...
when I'm injecting the lidocaine (with infiltration anesthesia technique), some lidocaine sprayed directly into my right eye...
I make sure I have
a driver and take pain meds before I leave the house. The the doc using a lidocaine gel for the stretching, afterward I keep an insta ice pack with me and apply ice immediately under my clothes. I have some small ones. I also find taking AZO before hand and for the first day or so afterward helps.
Truthfully, I have done it with no pain meds and with something to relax me etc.
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.
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.
left pointer finger, at work i stuck a cedar sliver under the nail past the start point of the nail. I attempted to pull it out and it broke off. only 1/4 inch came out so a good 1/2 inch is still in there i can see it thru the nail. I attempted to cut and split the nail with razor blade but once i got part way thru nail it hurt bad. my co-worker gave me a new 10ml bottle of lidocaine, he uses it to give himself stitches.
Has anyone ever been prescribed this for genital outbreaks or PHN? My doctor did for PHN. I just tried it for the first time it hurt to apply and doesn't feel the most pleasant now. Has anyone ever used this and what was your experience?
I had 4 FNA's, 3 on the left and one on the right side. To me, the lidocaine injections are nothing and I wish I could have had multiple injections of it. I got a double dose on the left. My doctor was gentle and calming, but the severe achey feeling deep inside my neck during the aspiration was not pleasant. I let out a couple of grunts during the procedure from the discomfort.
I am a 25 year old female and I had a seizure while having dental work done about 3 weeks ago. I had been given lidocaine and nitrous oxide. Following the appointment, I went to a neurologist and had a CT scan and an MRI done. Both showed no brain abnormalities. I had eclampsia 4 years ago and had seizures which resulted in the early delivery of my child. Aside from my seizures 4 years ago, I had no previous history of seizure disorder.
Also I am prescribed lidocaine patches. Lidocaine is a local anaesthetic. I apply the patches to the affected area, they can be left on for up to 12 hours then you have 12 hours off. They work pretty well too particularly when it come to wearing shoes.
That all that has been suggested to try by my pain Dr.
I hope it helps.
Re: Lidocaine Enemas. I am warning everyone to be careful. My brother just died 3/31/12 from a lidocaine enema. He was only 28. (Lidocaine Intoxication) Lidocaine in liquid form. I don't want anyone elses loved ones to die like this. I hope everyone will be careful when dealing w/lidocaine. it is a dangerous substance when not used properly.
