Inadvertent injection into a blood vessel could cause symptoms as above noted for lidocaine with epinephrine , and certain Local Anesthetics so injected can cause Cardiac problems .
Extremely rare to have true allergic reactions. Only serious complication would be seizures if local anesthetic (bupivacaine, mostly) gets injected accidentally intravascularly.
Usually none. But may experience a bitter taste in your mouth and mild dizziness can occur. Serous side effects like seizures are rare when too much is injected or gets into an artery.
Local anesthetics are usually safe and with rare complications in proper doses .Numbness; dizzines; tinnitus could be side effects. In cases of allergies there is another scenario
