I couldn't take the pain so I ended up having three teeth pulled Monday morning. It started with one but dentist thought three should go.
I have been unbearably dizzy ever since. It seems like a couple hours after I got home it set in. I still have a lot of head pressure that I thought would be relieved after teeth were out.
Went back to dentist and she said everything looked good.
Anyone experienced this? Will it go away?

I was dizzy after amalgam removal but it went away. If you're not already on them, you might consider taking some binders.

I had a period of feeling quite bad after having one tooth pulled. Strangely, it didn't start right away. It was a few days after having it out. I too went back to the dentist and nothing was wrong.
My dentist said it was a "healing reaction" and assured me I'd feel better in a few days. He was right. I hope it's the same for you!
After that bad period passed, I began to feel a lot better. I feel like I'm at a new better level of wellness. I definitely believe that getting that tooth out positively impacted my entire body.

Stirring toxins or making bacteria move?
Besides, the pulling is already a strong trauma...

Could be a reaction to lidocaine or marcaine, which once out of your system completely will go away.
I've never seen anyone allergic to Marcaine, but this is some of it's side effects. Marcaine is mostly used in extractions for longer, stronger numbness. If you were allergic to it, these symptoms would have started right away. Could be just a reaction to it, as we react differently to things, not really an allergy reaction.
"Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives, red rash, itching; sneezing, difficulty breathing; severe dizziness, vomiting; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat."
"Tell your caregivers at once if you have any of these serious side effects: feeling anxious, restless, confused, or like you might pass out;problems with speech or vision; ringing in the ears, metallic taste, numbness or tingling around your mouth, or..."

Tomorrow will be a week since teeth pulled. Still dizzy but might be a little better. Head pressure is now almost more bothersome than dizziness.
I had been sick a long while before this procedure and would never have undergone it in my current state of health had I not believed it was a big contributing fa actor.
My mom suggested a chiropractor.
Would that be a good idea? Concerned they could hurt more than help if not lyme literate.
Are there any binders besides activated charcoal or chlorella? I could probably use detox but am in such a precarious position I don't want to risk herxing or detox reaction.
Really in need of gentle healing. No stirring the pot for now
