Just need advice.

So just a few days ago i had a dentist appointment for a regular cleaning and check up. Everything was good until they came back from looking at my x-rays. The dentist told me i had 2 broken and infected teeth on my bottom left side, my wisdom tooth and my moler. He asked me if i wanted them removed, now i thought i had to go to a specific oral surgeon but i needed them out so i said sure. Do what you need to do. Its been 2 full days since that procedure. Im very worried about this infection going septic and my anxiety for sure is not helping. Often, yet random, my heartrate spikes to around 120 - 150 bpm. Rarely higher but it has. Mind you, about 2 weeks ago i was hanging out with friends and my body randomly flushed into numbness and my heart just, stopped. Obviously it started up again, but thats when sepsis got stuck in my mind. The doctor prescribed pain meds, and amoxicillin. Ive been following the steps to keep my recently removed teeth (the gums) clean, and ive been taking my meds as the dosage requires. Today, i woke up sweating and with a heartrate of about 125 bpm, high body tempature and very gross smelling sweat but it dropped about 5 minutes later. During the 2 full days ive had this migrain that will not go away, and on top of that, my whole kneck and throat area and head feel very swollen. Im going to go to the hospital today, just in case. Should i be worried or is it just my body fighting the infection? Mind you, im sure my anxiety did this, or its just a head cold, but the day prior to my visit to the dentist, i got sick.

Watch the movie on Netflix called Root Cause. It speaks about Heart and teeth issues. They are def. related.

I hope you get some help and enlightenment when you went to the hospital and your heart rate has dropped to normal.

This forum hasn't been responsive at all but it's quite hard to offer advice. It's nice your other post got some replies.

Let's hope that now those infected teeth have been removed your AF will improve. It's said that infections like that can be the cause.
