Adrenaline

[Patsy33]

When at the Dentist earlier, I was asked if I wanted to numb gum for small filling. I said I would. After injection, I felt very agitated, my heart was beating very fast. I asked Dentist to wait a couple of minutes because of these feelings. She e explained that's because of the adrenaline that's in the local anaesthetic. Apparently, it comes in different strengths. I never knew this before. I explained I was on bete blockers for a fast heart beat already! So next time she will use anaesthetic without adrenaline. Did any of you know/ experienc this?

okay, thanks, Sqad, I just wondered if any other ingredients mght have produced the reaction. My own dentist also blamed adrenaline.

Yes. Many years ago my dentists stopped including adrenaline in my injections. Turns out I over-produce it on my own. :(

I said that to my dentist! :-)
