Hello,
Yes there is a probability that because of the smoke you have such allergy.
Many people develop such kind of allergies.
The best way is go out and try to smell fresh air , and ask your room mate to avoid smoking ion the room.
Dizziness could also be because of the allergy and in non smokers it is much.
By staying in the room you yourself have become a passive smoker and that causes problem as there could be suffocation and so the dizziness.
The best way is avoid staying in room for sometime and your room mate avoid smoking in the room.
In doubt do reply.
