  What does tea drunk actually mean? The other day I felt dizzy and a bit of headache after a cup of green tea. Could I have got tea drunk? How does it affect a person?

  It sounds like green tea was not suitable for you at that particular moment, or something else other than tea.
  
  Tea drunk is quite concisely explained in this Tea Guardian article:

  I had been tea drunk before, but that was after continuously drinking a lot of strong infusions of different kinds of tea.

  I agree. Usually one cup of tea should not affect a person as such, unless you are already extremely weak in certain way and the tea too strong. Say when you have already have a serious gastric problem or have been starving, and that your health foundation is already very feeble, then a cup of very strong green tea maybe able to fool your body to conserve more blood sugar than you can afford to make you dizzy. Otherwise, normal strength green tea at this amount is fine with even the sick, normally. Most of the time it just does a ill person good, provided that you don’t wait until the tea turns cold.
  
  Women during menstruation, postpartum, or certain kinds of flu should never drink any cold beverages, including tea that has turned cold. Some stronger people are lucky, some others just weakening their health, and some would experience problems quite immediately.
  
  If you are really quite feeble, and worry that it was the green tea that made you dizzy that time, switch to a deep baked oolong, or a fresh whole leaf black tea, or a shu cha puer, or a matured white peony.
  
  Do read the link above.

  It’s so very nice of you two. I was beginning to have this flu that I am having now. I don’t think it was the tea at all. But thanks for all the info.
  
  Should I now drink tea at all before recovery?

  I just recovered from a flu that wouldn’t leave me for a month, so I can really share this:
  
  I have more faith in tea than Western medicine for things like colds and flus.
  
  Contents in tea boost your immune system against invading matters, while most Western medicine for the ailments just suppress the symptoms or reduce inflammations. I won’t go into details, and since you live in the West (I suppose) so you do not have a lot of options, please continue your doctor’s prescription, and also your habit of tea. Just don’t drink tea within 45 minutes of medicine, just in case whatever medicine would interact with contents in tea to form something else.
