What Causes Dizziness And Hot Flashes While Recovering From Cold?

i was at work and recovering from a cold. i have rested the last few days but had to work anyway. I went tonight to work feeling ok and with in and hour into my shift started to feel really weird... light headed really hot and seeing like the tv snow station, I could barely see anything when i got my manager to sit me down. i have never had that happen in my 53 years. My ears have had some issues from flying a few times in the last 7 months. I had pneumonia back in May. The ER told me I have fluid behind my eardrums but did not remove it. It just scared me, never fly that way.
