? labyrinthitis: The most likely diagnosis is labyrinthitis if you have just had a viral illness. The semicircular canals help with balance and are connected to the nausea center in the brain. Viral illnesses can affect them making you dizzy and nauseous. Since you have also just started a new medicine, it could be the reason. Discuss with your doc and perhaps stop taking the pills for a wk to see if it improve

Viral Labrynthitis: If this is a new symptom for you and your doctors have told you that you are suffering just coincidentally from a viral labrynthitis then, the 2 are almost certainly related. If you had this symptoms BEFORE the virus then, you may have BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo- and No..I'm not swearing at you). Wanna chat about it?
