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? I actually felt the medicine inside my head and circulating through my body.
My tongue is still numb so nerve injury? guess I'll be going to the ENT soon after these other doctors. Wish I could bill my dentist for all this mess.
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. The assistant said "we did not give you epi, but that does happen to some people".
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 am 47 years old and a mammogram in July showed a cluster of microcalcifications with linear form. I live in a remote part of Japan so had to travel to the U.S. where I had a stereotactic biopsy done in Aug at a very reputable cancer center; however, they were unable to get any calcifications in the 12 samples. The doctor apologized and said the lidocaine washed away the calcifications. The final report stated that there was stromall fibrosis without evidence of microcalcifications.
Just as the doctor left the room after shooting him up with the novacaine on both sides of his mouth top and bottom he went unconsious and had a seizure. The doctor stated it was because he fasted and was nervous. He has never had a seizure before but it was deffinately not just passing out. What should I watch for as future side effects of this treatment?
s weight is 60 kg and dr. recommend her 80 microgram dose of peg-intron injections with 400mg Virex capsulse. While I have read on Peg-intron literature that its dose is given by weight. For monotherapy use 0.5 microgram/kg/week. For combination therapy 1.5 microgram/kg/week...i think my mother case is combination therapy (injections + capsules).And for 60 kg weight injection dose should be 100 micrograms. Please advise.
I have to go have a tooth filled tomorrow and I'm somewhat apprehensive about the anesthetic. I know most often the ones they use contain epinephrine because it's a vasoconstricter and causes the anesthesia to work longer. I know you can request the anesthetic without the epi but then it wears off quickly (like when they are drilling on your tooth). I asked my cardiologist and he said if I didn't get a big dose of the epi, if it was mixed, with the beta blockers I should be ok.
the 750 mg. is APAP (tylenol) ,the amount of narcotic is probably 7.5 mg. , the recomended max. dose of tylenol is 4 grams or 4000 mg. per 24hrs. alot of doctors cut that down to 2000 mg. for daily drinkers. Because tylenol can be very damaging to the liver.
The FDA is now suggesting to manufacuer's to limit the amount of tylenol to 325 mg. per pill.

With this baby my 2nd I don't want an epi! With my first I got one & I don't care wat anyone says they hurt the doctor had to stick me 3 times before it worked & bout a hour later I could feel the pain because the epi slipped out. My back was messed up for six months after I had my daughter I couldn't sit for more then 5 mins without needing help getting up!....epi! Scare the crapp out of me I think ill pass any natural births out there ?
But u can get one as soon as u get to ur hospital but most times they like for u to be 4 cm before so usually they will offer demoral (not sure of the spelling) with ur iv! I tell my hubby he has one job.....get me to the hospital in time I want my meds!
So instead two weeks later I got Covid after having first dose and had to wait 90 days to have an antibody test that came back positive my doctor agreed for me to get second dose under supervision of my allergist and taking 50mg benadryl administered by him and I had NO reaction with the second dose. Sorry to bore everyone with my story but it was one I really wanted to share. I am an asthmatic and cancer survivor.
Sadie I think my site is similar to yours 2-3 cm from nipple. Nanno is right...a little pain is worth it to get the results..I think the waiting is the horrible part.
What were your mammo and sono results that made you go for the biospy? I go on Wednesday so I'm hoping for good news soon.
Thank you all for your kind words-it helps to know we are not alone.
Nanno-good luck and best wishes.
