I had a cold around 3 weeks ago. For the last 2 weeks or so I’ve been experiencing bouts of dizziness. Nothing massively severe, no room spinning but just feeling a bit ‘off’ and lightheaded. It isn’t all of the time and usually happens when I’m still or sat.
I’ve had occasional headaches, a fuzzy feeling in my head, feel like I’m sensitive to loud noises. No hearing loss as such and only intermittent pain which feels like my right ear is slightly tender from time to time.
I have health anxiety so this is particularly worrying to me. I seem to be able to balance fine. I can balance on each leg perfectly fine and walk around without any difficulty.
I’ve spoken to my GP and he isn’t concerned. Said it’s likely labyrinthitis and as i experienced symptoms after a cold, is likely viral so antibiotics won’t help which is absolutely fair enough.
I’m not sure if it’s all in my head in all honesty. If I’m distracted or outside I don’t seem to notice it quite as much.
