What Is The Cause Of Dizziness While Suffering From Lung Infection With Cough, Cold And Blocked Sinuses?
I have been sick for the last 2 weeks. First week, lung infection with cough (no green sputum) that subsided then I went into a head cold. Sinuses were blocked no pressure in chest, minimal cough. This morning I started feeling real dizzy when I put my head down or if I put it back (as to look at the ceiling. Once I return to vertical I am fine. Could this be related to my cold? I was having these symptoms before I got out of bed this morning.

HI,
Te dizziness related to posture is more likely to be vertigo.
Common cold with sinus involvement of allergic origin can give rise to vertigo.
Along with treatment for sinusitis, tab. Cinnarizine is usually given in such conditions.
would advice you to consult an ENT specialist ,get you completely checked & get specific treatment for your sinusitis/vertigo.
Thanks.
