Curate, connect, and discover
Hey gang, I learned this cool fact so you don’t have to:
If you have POTs and you’re getting a filling or anything that requires a local anesthetic— ask them if it contains epinephrine
Epinephrine, ie—adrenaline—DOES NOT MIX WITH POTS
It’s not common knowledge for most dentists and doctors so give them a heads up so you can get an alternative
Bc the result is the worst POTs flare ever….trust me
My bpm went from 95 to 165 after the injection and it was NOT a cool, chill time
In conclusion:
POTs + epinephrine = NOT A FUN TIME
