This is indirectly aviation related, but I'm hoping someone will know the answer.
Over the past couple of years, and indeed at the moment, my colds seem to become a thing of hell. Symptoms after the first couple of days include nausea, pain directly behind my left eye, profuse sweating, hot flushes, headaches and a burning sensation behind my cheeks. Oddest of all, when I try to blow my almost permanantly blocked yet dripping nose, I get intense dizzyness which is so severe I need to hold onto things or sit down or else fall down.
Am I simply a wuss?
I suspect I may suffer occasionally with acute sinusitis, but I don't quite understand where the dizzyness comes in. Likewise should I be suffering sinusitis each and every time I get a cold?
