so that was a fun morning's dentistry...

just had a funny reaction to the adrenaline in the anaesthetic that my new dentist just gave me... still at least i am signed off work (i jest of course)!

i can't believe people choose to take ketamine and things - i just got fully battered of the thing i was supposed to have taken... you always know something is wrong when the dentist won't let you leave for an hour and checks your blood pressure 3 times..!

on the plus side he has done a bonza job of rectifying the negligence of my previous practice..!

i don't know why i am telling you this - it's just worth knowing that you should speak up if you feel dodgy - you aren't supposed to feel that rough - so tell them..!

stay safe people!

Never heard of Adrenaline mixed with an anaesthetic, did your blood pressure drop too low or something?

the anaesthetic has adrenaline in it apparently... so i had the opposite problem - my heart rate went up to much...

...it felt like a presentation and job interview all rolled in to one(!)... now I feel quite cheerful - probably the relief of still being alive!

I know the feeling, i once ate more sudafed than i should of (i have perma-sinus), i believe you can trigger panic attacks with too much adrenalin.
