What Causes Dizziness And Loss Of Balance After Root Canal Treatment?

Hello I am a 53 year old female- I take no meds- I have been having some unusual symptoms for me- several weeks ago I had an root canal and had a tooth infection. I was dizzy, felt like I had a loss of coordination and balance and had a spell for 30 minutes where I just had to sit. I was afraid to stand up. I did get a prescription for an antibiotic . Today I woke up with a pinching pain in my right leg- I exercise regularly and this is a new feeling for me. Should I see my doc?

Hi..
Can understand your concern..

As per your complain the symptoms that you have explained after root canal would have been due to some allergic reaction to the medication like antibiotics and painkillers given to you at the time of root canal..

You have not explained that whether you continued the same medication or got changed by the dentist..
Most probably the symptoms would have been due to adverse effects of some medication..

The pinching pain in leg doesn't seems associated with the medication or root canal and it can be due to any muscle overstretching or twisting or fatigue of muscle due to excessive workout and can be nothing serious..

You can take a muscle relaxant and apply some painkiller and muscle relaxing gel or spray for relief..

I case of no relief or increase in pain you consult a physician..


Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards..
