Is It Normal To Feel Light-Headed Following A Tooth Extraction?

Q.
Hi Dr Hughes, can you help ease my mind please? Is it normal for the extraction socket from two upper teeth to be a hole with white stuff around the opening and the gum the day after tooth extraction? I had no pain and no swelling and am already on antibiotics also I am 13 weeks pregnant it was simple uncomplicated extraction over in less than five minutes. I only had minimum amount of bleeding not really ate yet so it isn’t anything to do with that. Is it time yet to use salt water? I have also been feeling bit hot shaky and light headed, is this normal too? It’s just scaring me a little, I didn’t expect any of this to happen as I said it was just a very straightforward extraction! Thanks for the help.
