I just got a Lidocaine injection for an irregular heartbeat, and while the doctor reassured me it's common. I'm still feeling a bit anxious. Anyone else have experience with Lidocaine 2% Inj, 5ml for arrhythmias? I've been reading the possible side effects and it's a bit concerning. How can I tell the difference between normal and urgent side effects? When should I call my doctor? I just want to know what to expect and how to handle it all.

Lidocaine works wonders for certain arrhythmias. I've had it a few times and it calmed my heart right down. Just make sure to follow your doctor's advice and monitor your symptoms.

I've had lidocaine for dental work before and it was fine for me but I kept an eye out for the side effects. My advice is to keep a log of how you feel after getting it. If something serious comes up, you can show your doctor and they can help you with it.

I had it for a minor procedure and felt fine. Just make sure to let your doctor know if you feel any of those urgent side effects. Better safe than sorry!

I've had lidocaine for dental work before, I had to be careful but was okay. It scrambled my vision a little but cleared up soon enough. One thing I can say is if the side effects you have are not so bad, it might just be nerves.
