Virus?

I've had a cold for just over a week. Nothing major just a cold. First day of feeling off I got my first migraine in years, fuzzy lines in front of my eyes lasted around 30 mins then a mild headache. I've felt ok some days then stuffed up again, exactly a week later I got the same again. Haven't had a migraine in years then 2 in one week.

Today I have woke up congested again but I have ringing in my ears and I feel very off balance and dizzy if I look down. Is this some random virus or should I see a GP?

It’s been going on so long that I think you’d be within your rights to see a GP

I've had the same thing, my partner has it and my sister has had it. It's now turned into a chest infection (for me) but the dizziness is unreal! I've felt quite nauseated last few days too. Get yourself checked anyway I would, a lot going round at the minute especially bronchiolitis especially with the kids. X

Try 111 for advice.
it does sound like a virus to me though.

I've had the exact same thing. Had a cold which went away, then a few days later it came back with a sore throat, then after that cleared up it's come back a few days later with dizziness and aching bones. Migraine each time too.

Thanks everyone sounds like something that is doing the rounds then at the moment. The ringing in my ears is driving me insane. The dizziness is worse if I have to look down then back up. I've been extremely tired as well.
