Hello,
As mentioned that you have pain and swelling of the wrist. This could be totally the other point other than the heart issue. as you haven't mentioned your age or any past medical history about Heart or any other trouble this sounds to me as a more of the orthopaedic point of view.
Why don't you just try to use the hot water fermentation and use some crepe bandage? This should help.
In case if you have existing heart or diabetic issue than this should be related to the heart.
As sometimes due to lack of cardiac output people may develop swelling of the wrist or ankles. In fact, the ankles are more common than the wrist anytime soon.
Maybe I feel you have held the armrest of the dental chair so hard that there will be some vasocompression which might have led to this issue.
Since now you know what can be the possible causes please take the right call according to the need.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
