I felt immediate heart racing today while being injected: most likely panic or shot?

Dear reader, today I saw an endo. I was pretty calm but perhaps once I was getting the needle I'm not sure if it was thoughts in my head causing me to feel my heart race or if in fact the shot caused my heart to race. 😵‍💫

Either way feeling it made me get into panic mode thinking I was having a heart issue and asked for a break and had to leave.

I'm ashamed 🤧 but ill need to book to see my endo again.

Hopefully next week. She was nice and understanding.

She mentioned that my molar was located not by a nerve and she seemed confident it was not the shot. But again it was my body. I felt it

Any Help?
 
If it was the shot, is there an alternative?
