What Causes Dizziness And Numbness In Head After Tooth Removal?

I just had a tooth removed that was infected and abscessed. I had extreme swelling prior to the removal.i have taken my antibiotics faithfully and the swelling has went down quite a bit however this is the third day and I am getting very dizzy at times, almost like my head gets numb,very brief but scary. Is this common or should I seek medical attention ?
