Yeasterday I had some dental work done and I had some strange reactions (new to me anyway). Pounding heart, extreme nervousness, fight or flight kinds of things. Is this common?

If you have had injections with no reaction before, this is "just" a reaction to the epinephrine. It sounds like some of the solution was injected into a blood vessel instead of into the tissue. We try not to do this, but sometimes it happens. I am sure that this all passed within just a couple of minutes, didn't it?
Don't fear this in the future, but if you ARE worried about it, mention to your doctor about this experience and it will be a reminder to him to do more frequent test aspirations during the injection.
By the way, your use of the term "fight or flight" is exactly correct. If you are in a stressful situation, your body's own adrenaline causes this. Guess what. Epinephrine is the chemical name for adrenaline!

The answers before are good. Another reason to have reaction to the lidocaine, marcaine, etc is any medication that you are on. Also some "herbs" are contraindications to the 'caines. Thus make sure that you inform the dental team of any and all medication including diet supplements to prevent any severe "reactions"

Yes, it's the epinephrine in the numbing medication that they inject. It will raise your heart rate and make you feel weird for a little while, but then it wears off. But it helps in the anesthesia. So...next time...ask for some gas before your injection. You'll be in laa-laa land and won't notice it at all. Godloveya.

I have a reaction to Novocaine (or whatever "caine" they use). It makes me have the shakes terrible. I come home and I'm not cold, but I will shake for hours...until it wears off. Since it's not a life-threatening reaction (like closing my airway) I still use it and just know I'm going to shake.
