You need not worry. Food poisoning can cause general debility (weakness) and symptoms as you describe. You may feel faint for some time. In my opinion, nothing is wrong with your head unless you get some new problems later on. Right now, just take enough rest. Take proper food. Take enough liquids.
Hope this has answered your question.
