Drowsiness is a symptom you can notice immediately after an extraction. But shouldnt be more than a few hours post extraction. Get him checked once more and ask for the numbness is it still present after the procedure. Can be due to the medications or few drugs used to anesthetize a patient.

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The drowsiness can occur after or while doing extraction secondary to change in blood pressure(hypotension and syncope) but it is transient. After the procedure, there will not be any drowsiness.
The vomitting can be secondary to the antibiotics and analgesics prescribed after extraction, that causes gastric irritation and may result in vomiting and stomach upset.
Consult a oral maxillofacial surgeon and general physician and get yourself examined to rule out other medical conditions.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
