Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
You need a detailed ENT examination to find out the exact reason. It could be related to sinus or Eustachian tube dysfunction. Simple medications could help you get cured.
These issues mentioned above could also explain your headaches and dizziness.
For symptom relief, you could take ibuprofen for headache and betahistine for dizziness.
At present, there is no need to worry, as your symptoms do not suggest any serious problems.
Best wishes,
