I recently underwent a medical procedure where Marcaine/epinephrine 0.25% Inj 10ml was used to numb the area. The nurse mentioned it was a common local anesthetic, and it worked great for me, but I want to make sure I know what side effects to look out for. The leaflet mentioned some severe and potentially life-threatening side effects, but I'm wondering if anyone has experienced any of these or has insights into what to do if they occur. Also, are there any long-term effects to worry about? Any advice or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated!

I'm scheduled for a minor surgery next week and my doctor prescribed Sensorcaine-Mpf 0.5% Inj, 10ml. It's a local anesthetic used to numb the area. I'm a bit nervous about the side effects, especially the urgent ones listed. Has anyone had experience with this? What should I expect during and after the procedure? How can I best prepare?
