What Causes Dizziness And Nausea After A Root Canal?
I had a root canal done yesterday to my upper left rear molar (one in front of my wisdom tooth, which is gone). An injection was used to numb me up after the area was first swabbed with a topical anesthetic gel/liquid. Yesterday when I lay down, my head started spinning. Last night it happened again, and when I woke up this morning I became very dizzy if I shifted position in bed, eg, by rolling over. If I keep still while lying down, it s ok. I m now feeling dizzy and slightly nauseous even while typing this, so I hope it s not getting worse. What could this be? Inflammation in the inner ear from the root canal? Reaction to local anesthetic?
you havent mentioned your age and sex. reaction to local anaesthetic is imediate and not so late. relation of molar to ear problem is none.
probable reason could be insufficient drainage of the canal and remnant pus present .also it could be some pyschological trauma.
consult your doctor
Are you precribed with certain medications? this could be in realtion to that. Dont worry take tab domiperidone, tab omee along with the antibiotics and analgesics prescribed to you, also take lukewarm saline and antiseptic mouthwash rinses 3-4 times daily and you will be fine.
Take care!
