What Causes Fatigue And Light Headedness After The Wisdom Tooth Extraction?

I'm extremely fatigued and slightly lightheaded 84 hours after my Wisdom Teeth Removal. I grind my teeth and that's seeming to make things much worse also yesterday less than 72 hours after oral surgery, I lost a stitch it came out still in a loop. I have been following all post-op instructions to the letter, I called my oral surgeon after hours when my stitch came out and he seemed more annoyed than concerned. please help I'm petrified I have dry socket and I haven't eaten anything in days. Please Help!

Take the complete course of antibiotics and analgesics prescribed to you.
At home take lukewarm saline nad antiseptic mouthwash rinses.
Take complete rest.
Take multivitamin suplements.

Take care!
