Hello everyone,
First of all, I wanted to thank everyone who shared their own story on the forum. Very encouraging and also to share mine.
Well, where to begin ? I'm Julien from France, 28 yo. As far as I can recall, I've always been hypochondriac, leading to panic attacks and others thinks linked to that. And a bloody fear of dentist
. Even with all the precautions that I take, I've caught a cold that resulted in a myopericarditis, last September 2015. Briefly, the virus caused inflammation of the pericardium(wrapper of the heart) and myocardium(heart muscles) without (hopefully) any consequences.
I had since 4 years decays on the two bottom wisdom teeth, which I clearly ignored because of my fear of the dentist and any surgery. After waiting, I've decided to go to the operation on April 2017, which I had to cancel because (again) of my fears. And then, comes the Monday, June 26th when I decided to go remove on a single surgery, both of my impacted teeth.
Anaesthetic was only on local, I followed everything. Surgery was flawless, I only felt the syringes. After, the 2 teeth pulled out, stitches done and then I was discharged to come back at home.
Since then, I'm doing fine, 81 hours after the surgery. No fever, no pain since the extraction (at the point where I didn't take any painkillers) even if the surgery involved "bone work". I'm on amoxicillin for 6 days starting from the day of the surgery. Only some jaw swelling and a little blood ooze for the moment at the right gum side. Here's the problem, I'm fearing about everything that could happen to me, like :
- dry socket
- infection
- endocarditis
- death
- and others things...
And browsing Google doesn't help, aside from finding this amazing website. As a matter of fact, I tried to eat a lot but I lost 6 pounds since Monday.
Do you think I will be OK ?
