i am having a root canal procedure. already gone through one session. i took 2gms of diazepam, in addition to the shots the dentist gave. i take meds for hypertension, 100mg of atenelol, and 100mg of losarton. as soon as the dentist gave me the shot, i had distinct palpitations. i asked for water, and relaxed myself for 10min before starting the procedure. tomorrow i have another appt. i am thinking of not taking diazepam as i have not taken it before. the dentist told me that because of my age, 65, she is not even giving me epineprine. should i take the valium this time or not? thank you for your advice. lalitha
Valium should not cause any problem. In fact, it should help in relaxing. Take your BP medicines as usual.
