DIZZY, HEADACHES, ECT, WHAT COULD IT BE?

For about the past two months I have been experiencing moments where I get extremely "dizzy". It feels like I am really heavy starting at my feet and it comes in waves up to my head... When it doesnt feel heavy, it feels light, while the heaviness has moved up. Hard to describe. It comes and goes, but when it does come, the waves come about two or three times in a row, and then its over. Sometimes I get nauseous from this, too, though not enough to vomit.

I have been having some extremely painful headaches, as well. These come and go, too, but last much longer, sometimes days at a time. I think the longest in the past two months was 3 or 4 days in a row. It's behind my eyes and at my temples.

Also, my nose runs whenever I eat, no matter what it is. I have never had this happen before, never had any kind of symptoms of anything unless I am sick. Never any headaches, I can't even remember the last time I've had one before this.

If anyone can help me, or try to help me to figure out what is causing this, or what I can do, that would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
Since you have symptoms of runny nose, painful headaches behind the eyes and temples the possibility of sinusitis is quite strong. I would suggest you to take steam inhalation few times every day and see if it helps.You can also take oral decongestents.
Meanwhile please seek consultation with your PCP and undergo CT scan or X ray of the head to get a clear diagnosis.
Take care!

Seems like I'm reading what's happening to me. Very similar. The difference is that the headaches are more of tension than pain.

Don't you think it's hormonal?
