The medical doctor questioned me as if I misuse or took expired drug. I read that Michael Jackson probable cause of death was related to Xanax and intravenous anaesthesia (was it propofol?)

I am praying that she will be able to keep VERY still for that 30 minutes so that she doesnt have to go under GA again (which she did when she did it when she was a year old). Dont think there are any alternatives in her case, is there?stay-at-home mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04977522411804549074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29609470.post-7756161992000935412010-08-07T01:08:53.262+08:002010-08-07T01:08:53.262+08:00Wenn,

I felt heart beating so fast, couldn't breathe (how to breathe with mouth openwide) then started to tremble.. Two staff hold my trembling hands some covered me with blanket as they thot I was cold ! Dentist asks "Do you have hypertension" yadda yadda.. Yes to that. I thot it was probably the less than 24hrs combination of Painkillers + Xanax + High BP tablet that I experience this ! (lucky it was at IMU so got medical doctor around if not I will be so afraid to go dentist again!)missycnoreply@blogger.com
