Why do i get lightheadedness when i get colds or flu symptoms?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fluid shifts: These types of illnesses can cause dehydration because of fluid shifts within your body. Also, your body produces special chemicals that help fight off infections which can contribute to dizziness.
