Timber 10-01-2005, 08:07 AM If they have to numb you, just make sure you request that they use an epinephrine-free anesthetic. The epinephrine (adrenaline) in common dental anesthetics can cause racing heart/palpitations. Otherwise, just warn your dentist that you get palpitations and agree on a hand signal that you'll use if you need him/her to stop for a minute until you feel better. It helps to feel like you are more in control of the situation. peacefrogs79 10-02-2005, 02:39 AM Thank you Timber for the advice. I didnt mention it in my first post but I am also 18 weeks pregnant so I dont think they will use that kind of anesthetic anyway but I will definetly make sure! Shop 10-02-2005, 08:41 PM Can your dental work wait until after delivery?? Make sure you check with your OBGYN before you do anything . I have pvc's too and I take Toprol XL 50 mg for it. Are you on any med (just curious) for it while pregnant?? NeuroticHousewife 10-03-2005, 05:23 PM What are you having done? I also get PVCs and was diagnosed with SVT or IST (not sure which). I take (and did throughout my entire pregnancy) propranolol. It helped drastically. But I DO still get PVCs especially around my period. I wont get them for an entire week..and then a I can get them once an hour. It sucks doesnt it?? Yes, just make sure you stay away from all stimulants. peacefrogs79 10-05-2005, 07:46 PM Dentist says I need to have 4 teeth extracted. and has referred me to an oral surgeon. I was on toprol before pregnancy and it honestly did not seem to help much for me. Now im not taking anything for the pvc's. |
