What Causes Light Headed Feeling Post Tooth Extraction?

I had an abscess under a tooth ..
Went on strong anti-biotics , and had a straight forward extraction today ...no after effects .
My question is , how long before the lightheaded feeling I've had for a few weeks goes..
I've been checked by my g.p and all is good , he said it's the tooth .
Could it be nerves , I recently became a widow .
