Brief Answer:
Probable viral infection.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HCM.

I have read your query and understand your concerns.

Since there is runny nose and sneezing too, besides head pressure and dizziness, it is possible that your symptoms are caused by a viral infection.

It is necessary to get evaluated medically by your primary care Doctor and to get done a brain MRI in order to assess any involvement of cranial nerves ( equilibrium nerves and inner ear ).

It is necessary also an evaluation of a probable infection by appropriate blood tests.

Treatment depends on examinations results.

Hope you found the answer helpful.

Let me know if I can assist you further.

Greetings.
