So usually I sleep very well at night, but last night was horrible. I had a root canal done on Wednesday and it was a doozy....the dentist said my tooth was flared up bad and boy was she right! My tooth has had a lot of pain since then (it is finally feeling a little better). I think I have a VERY low pain tolerance, so even the slightest pain is magnified for me. Anyway, last night the pain got pretty bad and for some reason I decided to take my temperature....well, the thermometer said that I had a fever and each time I took it the thermo said it was higher. OF COURSE...I started going through all the worst case scenarios in my heard like, an infection that was going to my brain, endocarditis, the flu, etc....This thinking started my anxiety up. I began to get terrible heart palps and my heart rate was up (I never do that). I didn't end up falling asleep until 6 am. I am feeling better today, but I know when night falls things might flare up again....night time is the worse for me.
I have vowed to never go to the dentist again!! LOL (wishful thinking I know).
