I have discovered that epinephrine causes my heartbeat to race. Surprisingly to me, the dentist adds epinephrine to his numbing agents to help them last longer. It took a couple times before we figured it out but I'm glad I found out because each time got worse.

I would tend to think that increased heart rate with epinephrine is fairly normal but perhaps it isn't supposed to happen with the smaller amount given in dental anesthesia. You can request dental anesthesia without epinephrine. They do not add it to mine because I have a weird reaction which affects my contralateral eye.
