Has anyone experienced problems after having a filling? Yesterday I had a filling done and every since I have felt light headed, shakes, diarrhea, tongue is swollen a bit, and my heart rate resting is in the 90's and normally would be 62. Just wanted to check to see if anyone else has had this happen since having the sleeve done. I went back to dentist today and had her check me out and write down the names of the numbing meds, I have also talked to my dr who did the sleeve. They both just told me nothing was wrong with what they did, but some people react different to medications after having the sleeve.

Wow. Very interesting.

I have an appointment early next month. Really looking forward to it now.

Feel better and keep us posted .

Monitor your temp. Could always be early signs of an infection. The diarrhea is troubling to me, especially after a dental visit (if only because I've had multiple patients contract c.diff after dental work). Write down any symptoms you feel so you have a clear description on hand, and stay in touch with your doctor.

Every time I have novicain, I feel shaky, heart racing and generally not good.

Something I just found out recently is it is possible to be allergic to the newer white fillings they use. Also like someone mentioned, I don't know how far out you are but early signs of infection are important to be aware of. It could be nothing, but you knew your body the best. If you keep feeling not right it wouldn't hurt to get checked even if it's an ekg to rule out a myocardial infarction

Ok so I have talked with several dentist on the phone and a couple of dental hygienist and they said that this is very rare and what happened was when they gave me the injection it actually got into the blood stream and that is what caused all these issues. It is about 1:100000 people this happens to and there was nothing to do but ride it out and watch my heart rate. My resting heart rate is still alittle above normal, but they said it might take up to 10 days for it to return to normal.

It had nothing to do with my sleeve and I am feeling much better and getting over this slowly. I am drinking as much as I can to get this out of my system and will be going back to the gym for the first time since Monday as my heart rate is finally down to the lower 70's and I feel that it is safe again.

Thanks for all your comments and help. (Sleeved June 15,15)
