Suggest Treatment For Nausea, Lightheadedness And Breathing Issues
I had 2 fillings replaced at dentist with Novocain. That afternoon I started having anxiety/panick attacks. That night I was up all night with nausea, lightheaded, dizzy, trouble breathing and anxiety/panic attacks. The next day I had several more attacks with one being so severe I went to Urgent Care. They did an EKG and chest X-ray and ruled out everything but anxiety/panic attacks and told me I might have had a reaction to to the novocaine and it might take a week to get out of my system. I have never heard of this and would like to know if this is possible. Thank you.

Hello,
Novocaine contains procaine. Breathing issues plus drowsiness, facial oedema are a common allergic reaction to Novocaine.
So you should consult the treating doctor and ask for replacing the other drug. Then this will stop automatically without compromising your ongoing treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
