Health problems after extraction of 2 wisdom teeth

Hi, I'mm a 22 year-old male. Around a month ago I had 2 of my wisdom teeth on my right jaw extracted. The very next day I felt my left eye did not work well as usual but I thought it was because of the med my dentist gave me.

A week later, I had this feeling of mucus in my throat and started to feel light-headed and sensation of being off-balance. I looked up and self-diagnosed that it might have been "vertigo dizziness". I went to the hospital and the doctor said it was due to the drop in blood volume and gave me some pills. 4 days later, the dizziness went away but a new problem emerged. I started to feel discomfort and ache in my muscles and joints of my right and left arm.

I'm a little bit nervous. Is there anyway that these problems link to some sort of serious illness? Or is it just because I lost quite a lot of blood during the surgery of my wisdom teeth?

Thank you.

Also. I had one dislocated wisdom tooth to which some might say due to calcium deficiency. That was the reason I had it extracted. Also my joints creat some cracking noise recently when I make sudden movement

I am also wondering. Could it be calcium deficiency? I'm lactose intolerant and I rarely consume any dairy product. As I looked it up, two symtoms which match are: Muscles ache, slight dizziness.

Hi, I think that you should be alright. These symptoms are not stacking up to be anything serious and its reassuring to know that you have been to the doctors twice and that they don't seem to be overly concerned. You will be fine I think.
