Yesterday, I had to have a 'Trans-GI electrocardiogram'. This was after a normal electrocardiogram, which did not show my physician enough detail of the heart, so he ordered this procedure.
The basic procedure is; they use a somewhat smaller probe than the one used externally. The probe (with a cord attached) is 'swallowed; by the patient. To fight the natural gag reflex, I had to gargle then drink a small amount of Lidocaine liquid, about 4 ounces or so (from a sealed container). The lidocaine was very thick, and tasted medicinal. It was very difficult to gargle, and then swallow. Then, the doctor also sprayed a numbing agent onto the back of my throat. This spray may or may not have also been lidocaine. Additionally, a sedative and pain killer were administered through IV. This exam was unpleasant, and my throat is still very sore from the probe. During the exam, the lidocaine worked well enough, although the gag reflex did start to kick in during the last few minutes. Later in the day, I had a bad headache, and felt a little sick in the stomach; which was why I looked up Lidocaine side effects. The doctor gave me no informational sheet about Lidocaine, and I wondered if how I felt later was due to the drug; apparently so.

I recently had a colonoscopy which involved taking movieprep. Movieprep requires ingesting a very large amount of liquid, and believe it or not that really hurt my throat. This has happened before even when I just glugged down a really large amount of water. Three days later, I had to see a doctor and he gave me a prescription to topical lidocaine. I used it before going to bed, and woke up around three with an unbearable headache. It was awful and I almost took myself to the emergency room. Maybe you and I both have a similar side effect when lidocaine is used on the throat.

...and I should note that this side effect is a little odd in that lidocaine is also used to -treat- headaches. My guess is that if we asked our doctors they would not suspect that the lidocaine was the cause of the headache.
