Amy_ Posted November 13, 2018 Report Share Posted November 13, 2018 Did anyone get diagnosed with POTs after having a root canal procedure? Or have flares with an infected tooth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StayAtHomeMom Posted November 14, 2018 Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 I have not. That being said POTS symptoms can flare after a dental visit if they use the epinephrine based anesthetic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistol Posted November 14, 2018 Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 @Amy_ - a root canal is a painful and scary procedure, therefore it could theoretically cause a flare due to the release of norepinephrine. Also any infection can cause POTS to act up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nik1980 Posted November 14, 2018 Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 I developed my most serious symptoms which led to my diagnosis following a root canal. Any trauma to any part of your body can cause elevation in symptoms or new symptoms. Same thing happened to my mother, who has another form of dysautonomia.
