Any time the body is fighting an infection it can make you tired and "spacy". Cold and sinus medication will also make you feel "spacy" especially if it has an antihistamine in it.

Absolutely!
Not only do you feel crummy from the cold or upper respiratory infection with watery eyes, sneezing, chills, achyness, and gunk coming out of you nose-
but the infections cause your head to become woozy!
Why?
When you have any form of infection, there is swelling of the tissues. Add the mucus factor and there is your stuffy feeling. No air is passing thru your nasal passages and if you have infection there (colored mucus) you really got it bad.
Your face is a very hollow area with many sinus cavities that should be open for good air flow. When you get the swelling, infection & mucus in there, it makes your head feel heavy- because it IS. The sinus cavaties are porous and light, but if your infection is bogging you down it can actually increase the pressure in those hollow areas and create that lovely dizzy, light headed feeling we don't like.
Also, many ear & sinus infections cause swelling in the ear canal. Your sense of balance (equilibrium) is controlled here. If there is swelling in your inner ear and it affects that area, so easily can have trouble with feeling woozy.
Get plenty of rest, boil some water in a kettle on the stove (it adds moisture to the air in your house), drink plenty of juice and water and I hope you feel better soon! Take Care!

the best why to handle sinus infection. Clean up the bathroom basin get some salt. Fill up the basin with luke warm water dissolve 2 tea spoons of salt in this water. Put as much of your head into this to draw the liquid up your nose. Believe it or not this does work.

yes, that happens to me whenever i get a bad sinus infection or sinus congestion with a cold. It was a little scary before I pinned down the cause.

That is normal for me. Just take some medicine and you will be fine.

It sounds like you have the flu. It could also be whichever meds you are taking for your symptoms.
