What Causes Light-headedness And Strange Tastes In The Mouth Post A Flu Shot?

I am 72 and just had a physical and blood work which was all good . Had hernia surgery 3 weeks ago. At the physical got a flue shot and now 10 days after I am experiencing some lightheadedness and Have a funny taste in my mouth. The lightheadedness comes and goes. I have had flue shots in the past with no problems. The only abnorality in the physical was a trace of blood in the urine.
