Had Lidocaine 2% Inj, 10ml and Experienced Severe Side Effects—Is This Normal?
I recently underwent a minor surgical procedure where Lidocaine 2% Inj, 10ml was used to numb the area. The injection worked perfectly during the procedure, but afterward, I started experiencing some alarming symptoms. I felt extremely dizzy, had a severe headache, and my vision was blurred. I also noticed that my face and lips started turning blue, which was really scary. I was eventually rushed to the ER, where the doctors told me I had methemoglobinemia. Has anyone else had a similar experience? How common are these severe side effects? I'm really worried about future procedures that might require lidocaine.

Methemoglobinemia is rare but serious. If you experienced this, it's a good idea to get a detailed medical evaluation. Your doctor might suggest avoiding lidocaine in the future or adjusting the dosage.
I had an allergic reaction to lidocaine once, and it was terrifying. I ended up with hives and trouble breathing. It's not worth the risk if you have a history of severe reactions.
I think it's important to note that these side effects are rare, but they do happen. It's always better to be safe and seek medical attention. Better to be safe than sorry!
I've used lidocaine for stitches, and I never had any issues, but everyone is different. Be sure to report all side effects to your doctor and the FDA.
I had lidocaine for stitches and felt a bit woozy, but nothing like what you described. Maybe it's worth looking into other options for numbing, but definitely talk to a doctor about it.
It's scary to hear about such severe reactions. I had a friend who had a similar issue with lidocaine and had to get it switched out for another anesthetic. Just be cautious and listen to your body.
I had some weird tingling and numbness after getting lidocaine for a dental procedure, but nothing as serious as you describe. But I did report it to the doctor and we talked about it.
