Hi,
I had local anaesthesia at the dentist yesterday. It's really left me out of sorts, headache, nausea, diarrhoea, awful nightmares, etc. I usually get side effects from it and was just wondering if anyone else gets any?
Thanks

Hi spangles,was it the injection in the mouth? I had one last week,very deep one at that 😖 the only symptom I can say I get is woozy headed,wonder if dentists use different anaesthetics,maybe you could ask him/her if they have a alternative one
-
I don't have anaesthesia :o I always thought it was horrible so one day I asked the dentist do I really need it ? He was a bit shocked but said we can try. That was a few years ago now and I've had lots of big and deep fillings, I'm not saying I don't feel anything but it's really not bad and if I want the dentist to stop I just have to raise my hand, but it's never happened.
I'm now not the only member of my family that goes anaesthetic free ;D

Blimey TH you're a brave gal, I just couldn't,even with my mouth numb,I'm anticipating pain😆wot a wimp
-
Don't believe that for one minute Birdy,you?nasty or angry? Never 😆😂

Blimey TH you're a brave gal, I just couldn't,even with my mouth numb,I'm anticipating pain😆wot a wimp
Last time I had a filling the worst part was ............... The radio were playing Abba, can't bear Abba ;D
-
Oh my TH,Birdy, I actually did burst out laughing there
-
Just told my daughter the suction comment ,she's about wetting herself 😆
-
Oh no, now I'm going to laugh next time my dentist says that ;D
I've just realised why I always wear trousers
:rofl:
-
Birdy. I LOVE YOU. xx
Whatever stupid sh*t I do now, I will remind myself that I have not (yet) flashed my Nu Nu at the postman !!!
;D ;D ;D
-
Yep,that's the dentist going to be wondering why I'm choking half to death with laughter😆😂
Birdy,I'm such a numpty like that too,last time I was getting a breast examination,once the dr had finished,she said,ok,that's you,I got up off couch TOPLESS and opened the wrong door, I was standing there totally disoriented wondering why I was looking down a busy corridor,aw geeze,I've never lived it down 🤣
-
Oh not sucking a rubber glove ;D
L[ocal] A[aneasthetic] shouldn't have any side effects other than making the area numb. But laying down may have an impact on the cervical spine = dizziness/woozy feelings. You must tell your dentist B4 any further treatment.
-
That's so funny birdy.. why is it when picturing it I can hear the Benny Hill music 🤣
-
I went last week and have a sore area - it's like a nerve is trapped :-\ after 2 fillings in the same area. The 1st fell out :o. Both LA needles were painful+++ :'(. It's not painful enough to take 'nurofen' but I am aware ...... once le Tour is over I will go back if it's troublesome.
-
Oh my TH,Birdy, I actually did burst out laughing there
So did I (or rather smothered a giggle due to being at work in the library)!
-
I'm still giggling.
I took to wearing trousers instead of skirts many years ago, but that was in case I got drunk, fell over and flashed my knickers. Which I have not done !!
Good decision, well made ;D
-
This post is hilarious, just catching up now!!

There really isn't a need to vomit if GA is given sympathetically. I was injected with anti-emetics during long surgery and never felt queasy. Probably because I told the Anesthetist that I was light weight and I was sick after, I would see her in Court.
-
So why does anyone vomit after GA does it affect the central nervous system?
-
The old fashioned pre med caused the vomiting. These days they wheel you into the theatre fully conscious. I had a full blown panic attack last time.
-
I wouldn't go to surgery without a pre-med. I had 'ativan' many years ago, they could have done anything once that took effect :D
Some patients are walked to theatre, no way :o. What about those dirty feety-bits on that floor :o :o
-
Dirty feety bits 😆😂🤣
My mum was always sick after GA too,they used to give her a stemitil injection,seemed to help

Not sure if anyone realises but there are two types of injections that the dentist uses. The one favoured has adrenaline in it and causes reactions in a lot of people as described. With me, it gives me a racing heart and palpitations and a feeling of angst. I have the other type which they don't offer unless asked, which is the non-adrenaline one. So much better.....no probs but dentist said sometimes it doesn't numb as much as the first one and may need topping up but I've had teeth out with it and coped fine!
-
:thankyou: I want something numbest quickly and for hours after. :D
Last time a gel was applied first but he didn't do it this time but the jab was quite fast. It also eased sooner than usual. The area is still irritable by the end of the day :-\ !
