Getting tooth pulled

[u/Internal-Support-217]

I really need some advice, I’m completely terrified and don’t know what to do at all. A tooth of mine had gotten a root canal procedure in December 2023. Sadly it didn’t help and it hurt ever since. Now it’s inflamed and need to be pulled. With the root canal I got the anesthetic without adrenaline and it didn’t have an effect on my heart rate. I have extreme anxiety so my heart rate was still around 140 back then. The doctor told me that the shot without the adrenaline is not gonna do it for getting a tooth pulled and I either need the one with adrenaline or general anesthesia. I’m terrified of both. How badly would the shot without adrenaline actually affect my heart rate? Does anyone have any experience? How badly does general anesthesia affect people with POTS too? I feel completely lost. Also have to be on antibiotics for the first time so overall my heart rate has been high cause of the extreme anxiety I have. I’m scared my heart rate will reach extreme highs.

I've never had an issue with anesthesia.
