Hi,

Had it been due to fits, the symptoms would have been episodic, lasting for only a few minutes. The description that you have given of symptoms persistent for last one month and associated with cold are more suggestive of inner ear dysfunction. The inner ear structures contain a fluid and they are necessary for maintaining the balance of the body. Any dysfunction results in dizziness and vertigo. It should improve with Vertin (betahistine) tablets. Please do not worry. It does not appear to be fits.

Best wishes.
