Hi everyone,
I had an awful bank holiday weekend and spent most of it in hospital and at the emergency dentist! I ended up having root canal which got infected and has ended up in a huge abscess on my tooth. My face is all swollen and I havent eaten much since Friday :weep:
As you can imagine I'm feeling pretty awful!
The thing is, I have been doing so well with my anxiety and panic attacks over the last couple of months but since I have started taking these antibiotics my anxiety has hit the roof. I'm a nervous wreck, when I took my pulse earlier it was 110 and I've had loads of missed beats. I'm not sleeping very well either.
I'm also on very strong painkillers prescribed by the hospital.
Does anyone know if antibiotics can cause these feelings or do you think it could be something else? My health anxiety ridden mind is telling me that something more sinister is going on...... :ohmy:
Theres no way I can stop taking the antibiotics but maybe it might settle my mind if I knew these feelings were a side effect of the medication and not actually something seriously wrong with me (if that makes sense! :shrug: )
Thanks guys
