Are you taking anything for the congestion? Sudafed may help, if you're able to tolerate it. Be sure you are drinking enough fluids. The congestion can dehydrate you, if you're breathing through your mouth of having a lot of drainage. You may also have a slight fever, which will also dehydrate.
I'm assuming you mean nose and sinus congestion. If you're referring to chest congestion, that's another story and needs a doc visit.
Use a cool mist humidifier in your house, or place pots of water near the heat vents to moisturize the room. Bring some water to boiling in a pot; remove it from the heat and lean over the pot to breathe in the steam (don't burn yourself), or take a hot shower and breathe in the steam. After you do that, place some cool compresses on your forehead to help ease the swollen sinuses.
The more you lay around, the dizzier you will feel when you do get up. Be sure and move around in between your naps so you maintain your normal equalibrium. If your dizziness continues, you may want to see a doc to make sure you don't have fluid in your middle ear.
Many people are suffering from sinus congestion and infections right now. You'll have to be patient and let it run its course, following the above suggestions.

Sudafed - Still available behind the counter...ask your pharmacist for it.
