Author: I started with a sore throat Christmas Eve. Had it for 4 days and then yesterday I came down with this strange symptom. I have a temperature and when I turn my head I feel a rush of blood and in my head and I feel like I am high or drunk.
I’ve had the flu many times but this is totally different! I have a slight cough but nothing like a cold or congestion.
Does anyone know what type of strain it could be?
My husband had it but only for a day or two.

Could be an ear infection or a sinus infections causing equilibrium problems.
Could be dehydration and general light-headedness.
Could be any number of things, but honestly you probably need to treat the fever, rest, get nutrition and keep hydrated. If it’s a virus it will run it’s course. If you get worse, or symptoms increase greatly then I’d head in. But like anything, when it comes to medical advice, if unsure…head to the professionals.
no, I don;t ,but your Doctor might!!!
sounds like a really high fever.
What ever it was before it is a sinus infection/ear infection now. Your balance center is involved – that is in your eat btw – so you feel dizzy and woozy if you move your head too fast. you should probably get a culture to find out if it is viral or bacterial.
Hi,
Ive had somethink simplier to that it feels like the blood is rushing in your head, Ive had a couple of sore throats and my head at times has felt really heavy and pins and needles, my ears have also been acheing abit, I also had a temperature. I had’vt had a cough though. Im thinking it might be a ear infection or maybe sinus’s.
