Is It Possible I Could Have Sepsis From Abcessed Tooth?

I had 6 bottom teeth extracted 6 days ago. One was abcessed. Then had immediate denture placed. I was on antibiotics before surgery, amoxicillian and then keflex after surgery. Just last night I noticed my heart is racing and pulse is fast. Woke up like this too and has been like this all day. Is it possible I could have beginning of sepsis from abcessed tooth? No pain, no dizziness and no shortness of breath. Wonder too if it could be from antibiotics.
