Why Do I Have Dizziness After Getting Upper Wisdom Tooth Extracted?

I had my upper wisdom tooth extracted last Thursday with only local anesthesia (shots) and was awake. Sunday evening I started feeling dizzy. The dizziness worsened on Monday and has improved, but is still present. I am taking Ibuprofen 800 mg every 8 hours. Is the dizziness related to the extraction? If yes, how long will it last? It's terribly annoying.

Hello Dear,
Thanks for your query, I will be most happy if I could help you out. After going through your query, In your query, you have not mentioned if you are still having pain at the site of extraction??
If I were your treating doctor, and If you are otherwise healthy and not experiencing any pain or other problem, your medication should be completed by a week or less.
I think that your dizziness may be caused by the Ibuprofen tablet which you are taking since 1 week.
Dizziness is one of the commonest side effect of ibuprofen.
- Drink plenty of water.
- Consult your dentist regarding completion of the medication.

Hope this will help you. If there is any more query or question regarding this in your mind, you are free to ask any time.
Thank You and Take Care

Regards
