Hi,
Just had the initial treatment for a crown and had a strange and scary reaction. The dentist gave me an initial injection of lignicaine and all was fine as it always has been. My broken tooth was still a bit sensitive and so she gave me a 'top up' - about five minutes later, after enough time to take an impression. A few seconds after the second injection I became dizzy - the room spinning rapidly. She asked if my heart was racing - I said no but it may have been, I was more concerned about the diziness to say the least. She gave me some glucose and after several minutes it had calmed down and we decided to continue. AFter the treatment I sat in the waiting room for half an hour and then came home - still a bit dizzy, and about 2 hours later I am more or less back to normal.
Is this reaction common? I saw a nurse at my GPs practice and she checked my pulse and blood pressure and said they were OK and to rest as much for the reaminder of the day.
Cheers
Pete
