Wow, it caused my heart to race and really scared me. It took some time for me to calm down. My Dentist said I should eat more when coming for an appointment that will require anesthesia. That would help the effect of the medication. I was not told this at my consultation appt.

Dentist used an injected local anesthetic for routine dental work. The epinephrine in the anesthetic caused an electric shock and pain to shoot down my left arm, and caused my lips to numb.

Unknown to dentist or myself, my heart had CAD (coronary artery disease) and small vessel disease which is why the shot caused the bad reaction. Three days later, I had heart attack symptoms which led to my diagnosis and open heart surgery. The routine dental anesthetic injection may have jump started my heart symptoms and oddly enough may have saved me from a fatal heart attack as my heart was in really bad shape.
