Like we don't have enough already to concern ourselves with right?!
Went to the dentist yesterday and had to have work on 4 fillings, so they shot me up with local anesthesia in 4 areas. After the work was done with I was driving home and then the increase in PCS, namely whooziness, some mental processing and memory issues began to kick in. Wasn't expecting this and they knew of my history with the concussion a little over 2 years ago. The symptoms went away about 3-4 hours afterwards but was unexpected none the less. I'll make better plans next time I'm expecting anything like this. Not sure if it's due to the meds or the brain's status. Just a little heads up to those who have to maybe operate heavy machinery or sign very important papers.  Mike

May 31, 2009: Concussion from syncope due to low blood volume resulting from severe dehydration. Occurred after finishing my 9th marathon. 100% of symptoms cleared by August 2009. December 15, 2009: Major surgery due to diverticulitis. 6 weeks after surgery, dizziness, fog, cognitive difficulty, anxiety, some panic, lots of headache. These symptoms largely gone, but still cannot exercise above a very low threshold otherwise resulting in severe headache and cognitive fog. Same for overwhelming odors. Meds: Nortriptyline and Naratriptan as needed to rid severe headaches (exertional migraines). |
