What Are The The Symptoms After Getting Lidocaine Injected?

I visited dental hygienist and was injected with lidocaine on left side, then on right side of mouth for deep cleaning. Right after recieving injection on the right lower side, far back, I experienced rapid heart beat and rapid deep respirations. This has never happened before. Episode lasted approx, 5 mins. Was injection given in incorrect site, perhaps in vein instead of nerve, then went right to circulatory system?
