What Causes Dizziness And Headache After Severe Cough?

IT STARTED FRIDAY NITE WHEN I MOVED UP ON MY PILLOW QUICKLY, MY VISION WAS ROLLING AND HAD TO CLOSE MY EYES FOR IT TO STOP. ON SATURDAY I GOT UP FROM THE COUCH FAST AND GOT DIZZY. TODAY I HAVE HAD A FUNNY FELLING ALL DAY AND NOW MY HEAD ACHES. I HAVE NOT HIT MY HEAD ON ANYTHING.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have dizziness and headache after severe cough which is due to sinus infection which is leading to upper respiratory tract infection. Need not to worry, I would suggest you to take cough expectorants along with warm saline rinses. You should avoid intake of cold, carbonated beverages and spicy sharp substances. Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined and get X-ray chest done and start treatment accordingly. You should take augmentin antibiotic along with flonase steroidal spray and Fiorcet for headache. Take proper rest. Take steam inhalation as well.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
