How long before lidocaine side effects wear off?

jean346
So yesterday I had a lip filler injection for the first time and they used lidocaine on me. Everything was fine until 30 minutes later when I left the clinic I felt a sudden dizziness and almost passed out. I talked to my doctor and he told me to take a rest. Anyway at 3 am in the morning I started feeling all tingly and dizzy again I had to go to the Er My question is it s been 24 hours now and I still feel a bit dizzy and funny feeling in my arm and leg , when will the lidocaine effects go away?
