What Causes Pressure In The Head After Wisdom Tooth Extraction?

I had a wisdom tooth pulled. I usually need a lot of novacaine to get numb. For the first time I also had laughing gas. Since then I have had the top 1/2 of my head feel like it has pressure, I am wea,k can not think straight, and it is effecting my low blood sugar levels. What is going on?

Hi..
Thanks for the query..

It looks like you are having side effects of the laughing gas that exactly contains Nitrous oxide..
It can have a number of side effects and pressure feeling is one of them..
It can get better gradually but in case if you have other symptoms like dizziness, difficulty opening eyes, severe weakness or very low sugar levels then you should immediately consult an Emergency room and get evaluated..

Hope this helps..

Regards.
