What Causes Palpitations And Rise Of BP During Tooth Extraction?

I am a 60 years old woman, weigh 62 kg, 5ft. height. I had a molar tooth extraction done on 1.9.11. The dentist gave me a second injection as the first one did not completely numb my mouth.After the second injection, I started to get a strange sensation in my feet and hands and also breathing problem. The dentist said I was having heart palpitation and gave me smelling salt to smell. After some time my breathing got harder and my BP was 100/175. Went to a heart specialist and had ECG and blood biochemistry done.Blood glucose-fasting 75mg/dl, blood glucose-pp 83mg/dl blood urea 28mg/dl, serum creatinine 1.1mg/dl, serum uric acid 7.7mg/dl LIPID PROFILE Total Cholesterol 174mg/dl, HDL Cholestrerol 34mg/dl,Triglycerides 270mg/dl,LDL Cholesterol 86mg/dl ,VLDL 54mg/dl.Total cholesterol Ratio 5.118. Presently taking Valent 40, zyloric,lipidcard-160,etirest-0.5.BP has come down but I still have an uncomfortable feeling in the middle of my chest and periodic feeling of not getting enough air in my lungs or faster heartbeat.Before this incident, I did not have any serious problem with BP. What else can I do, doctor? Please recommend dietry restriction to be followed. Thank you. Deki Yangzom

You need not worry.during extractions because of stress BP may shoot up but gradually it comes back to normal level. This is a very common phenomenon.
