medical question... dentist help!?

I had a very bad experience at the dentist the other day. I have had local aneasthetic many times. But once he injected me, I felt as if I was dying. I felt incredibly ill.

He used a different kind of aneasthetic he told me?

I've never had this before, now of course I am terrified to go back and I have to help!

ps. he said I was having a panic attack, but I was not! Today I have strange blisters on my eyes.????

    There's a chance some of the anesthetic was injected into your bloodstream instead of just into the tissues....especially if this was any lower tooth or the upper last molars. If this happens, the patient experiences immediate rapid heart beats and feels ill. The effects usually wear off in a few minutes unless the patient begins to panic and then there can be what's called a vasovagal response. If you were having a tooth numbed up that was outside of the above parameters then you were having some other kind of reaction and your doc needs to be aware of this

    Often times, it's difficult for people who don't regularly have them to determine whether or not they were having a panic attack. That said, I'll address your other issue.

    It is entirely possible that you are allergic to the new anesthetic. It shouldn't have anything to do with your eyes, as it's effects should have worn off before now and your body's reaction should have stopped. I would go to your doctor to have your eyes looked at ASAP, because blisters on your eyes is not a good thing at all. However, when you go back to the dentist, tell them you would like the anesthetic that they originally used, or another one not related to the last one. This should get you fixed up.
