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.
