    Breast biopsy and local anaesthetic taste in mouth

    I had a breast biopsy today. The nurse was shocked when injecting the local anaesthetic that I started to bleed profusely and asked if I usually bleed alot. I said no. Had the biopsies and came home however all day I've had the taste of local anaesthetic in my throat and mouth. Every time I burp I can taste it.

    I only ever get this if given anything by IV and it never lasts this long.

    Is it possible shes injected it into my vein? I feel so on edge and panicky and haven't felt right since this afternoon.

    Has anyone had this happen? I have a doctor ringing me and they might want me to go and be seen in the out of hours.

    How do you know it is anaesthetic that you are tasting?

    I'm not sure. Its the same taste as an anaesthetic smell if that makes sense.

    Probably similar to a dental anesthetic what they used today, so you probably mean that?
