There's a connection between a bacteria that can live in your blood stream and be affected by dental work and your heart. I was trying to find a good reference.
This reference is more about heart disease and the percautions you need to take with regard to dental work. Not the same thing, but I think the backteria they are talking about may be the same one I am thinking.
I go frequently for cleaning of my teeth since I build plaque easily no matter how often I brush/floss etc. I sometimes worry that I am doing my heart more harm than not. If you have pre-existing heart conditions they usually put you on anti-biotics just before or just after you go to the dentist to protect your heart.
And if you're body is being too stubborn to let you be well soon, I have plenty of paid time coming to me and a killer recipe for chicken noodle soup. Also... a blockbuster membership. ; )

How long will it take to get over it?

Are you going to be okay? I mean has it caused any irrepriable damage to your heart?
Did you have any dental work done recently?
Take care and keep us posted. I'll be thinking about you.
