What Causes Dizziness And Fever After Treating A Sinus Infection?

i am getting over a cold and sinus infection. but the first 24 hrs. of this cold, i suddenly got very lightheaded and clammy and all i could see was white colored blasts of light in my vision. it ended within about 2 min. . when i went to feel my skin again it was dry as if nothing had happened and i felt much better. i think i might have had a fever during the night. was this just the fever breaking?

Hello,

Welcome to health care magic.

I have read your question completely and understand your concerns.

You are right in thinking that your symptoms are due to the fever. When a person has fever, he feels unwell. He maybe dehydrated. Fever by itself and dehydration can lead to low BP and feeling lightheaded.

Almost all the symptoms will settle down once your fever subsides.You can take Paracetamol 500 mg -1000 mg three/four times a day, provided you are not allergic to it and do not have any liver problems. Kindly drink lots of fluids even though you don't feel like eating.

I hope this answer has helped you.

Thank you

Regards
Dr Sunita Sayammagaru
