On Lortab Post Root Canal, Have Dizziness, Sweating, Breathing Difficulty, Vomiting Sensation, Hot Flashes. What Could This Be?
I just had a root canal done. Have been taking lortab as needed the last 2 days. Today I suddenly got dizzy started sweating alot as it felt like I couldn t breath. I also felt like throwing up even after sitting down and resting head on the table. I felt so hot and it was so hard to breath I actually made my friend unzip my dress infront of everyone。about 5min later I felt fine. What could this be? From the root canal pain? The meds? Or something else?

Hello,
The dizziness may be due to the medicines administered or due to infected pulp remaining within the tooth.
I would advice you to avoid anxiety.Take rest.
Frequent warm saline gargle has to be done.
Get the medicines replaced if causing dizziness.
Please do visit a dentist and get the treatment procedures completed.
Do not take medicines in empty stomach.
Hope this helps.
