Suggest Treatment For Panic Attacks When On Intros Oxide

I had a dental procedure and was off am on intros oxide for 21/2 to 3 hours During they overdosed me with it and I had a panic attack as I thought my heart was going to explode. I had an EKG it was normal. I still have waves of heat across my heart and get dizzy. Did something bad happen to my heart during the overdose?

Unlikely. Furthermore, the nitrous does not stay long in the system. Whatever causes a panic attack, the psychological effects usually last much longer than the thing that caused it. Usually it subsides. It probably isn't a good idea to complicate a short term event by throwing lots of other drugs at it. A bit of counseling, CBT if it continues.
