I had a tooth extracted two days ago, before the visit I had worked excessively about complications sure to my high blood pressure, possibility of bleeding to death etc. The extraction went great, took about 12 hours to fully stop the bleeding. The blood clot formed, in 2 days I've eaten 1 cup of pudding and a bowl of ice cream. The clot appears to still be intact, but is no longer dark red, it is turning a grayish yellow color, I am worried that it may be infected. The whole day of the day they removed the tooth, my heart rate was btween 108-130, being in beta blockers my heart rate usually stays between 60-80. Yesterday, I woke up with amazing almost low blood pressure, and felt very fatigued, my body felt tired and wore out, had a headache, but no pain in extraction site, today I wake up, high heart rate again, mild temperature 99. And mild stomach pains. Abs like I said the blood clot looks discolored. I'm on day 3. I have scored the Internet for pictures of a healthy blood clot, as I am worried about infection, I am worried about the elevated heart rate, and I so very hungry, but afraid to eat. I've been lightly rinsing with saltwater the past two days and then with peridex this morning, should I be worried? Or is this all in my head? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
