Straight answer: I believe your best response will come from a doctor who sees you when this occurs. Upper respiratory tract infections can cause nasal congestion which blocks the tube that drains the ear. Fluid pressure then raises in the ear which affects the balance sensory system from the ear. It can also be the virus is attacking the nerve the carries the balance control signal, thereby causing dizziness.
