Balance disorder after dental overdose of nitrous oxide

Posted By Joe (Long Beach, Ca) on 06/08/2015

I had a full mouth deep cleaning and 5 cavity fillings in one sitting which took 3 hours. I was placed on nitrous oxide where in the oxygen bag kept kinking. At one point I thought my heart was going to explode and my ears whistled like a kettle. The dentist rushed in told the girl she overdosed me on the gas. They raised the o2 and my heart began to calm down as well as my ears. I then got sick 24 hours later with a sinus head cold. My vertigo began wherein I was in the hospital for a week due to not being able to stand up. I had hearing test, nerve test, mri, balance test and all normal. Oh I also had my eyes checked and my vision, LOL, somehow is better and my prescription is now so minor I don't need glasses if I don't want them.

I now have ringing in my right ear and daily slight dizziness. Vertigo is better but the foggy brain, out of focus right eye and dizziness has to stop! It has been 7 months. I have tried oil of oregano, lysine, calcium, blowing through my ears, valume, meclazine, bonine, b12, multi vitamins and nothing works. I can't live like this anymore. Can anyone help? Dr's say it will eventually go away. I got married in October, this started in November, this is not how I wanted my married life to begin. Please, Please, Please has anyone else gone through this can anyone help. My quality of life is so diminished and the DR's simply do not care.

OH also the hospital found my o2 level is now 95-96% instead of 98-100% since the procedure. Maybe I need to raise my oxygen level in my blood?

Please if anyone has gone through this and has anything they tried that worked let me know.

Joe, if the dentist counteracted the gas with O2, maybe h2o2 inhalations, a la Bill Monroe method, might help you.

J: This looks like a case of cellular toxicity wherein there is damage to the mitochondria or energy factory (Krebs cycle) of respiration.

Here are a few nutritional supplements that will reverse this situation. Take as directed on labels.

--Broad-spectrum Multivitamin/mineral (with every meal)

-- SAM-e

--Quercetin as Dehydroquercetin or DHQ

--Magnesium Complex plus Magnesium Malate

--Vit-E (as full spectrum) + Selenium + CoQ10

--Aspartic Acid

This regimen will work for the short-term but can be taken long-term for prevention of toxicity, along w/ the need to increase antioxidant foods and/or supplements.
