Just a bit of advice really - please.

I woke up on Friday morning, after sleeping in the tent with one of the kids and found I was really hot and so badly dizzy I could barely stand, I managed to make it indoors, but had to quickly lay down as I was starting to feel sick.

Laid down and tried to focus on a fixed object, but it was like the room was spinning and I had to keep trying to focus, it was pretty worrying.

Before anyone asks I hadn't been on a roundabout or drinking! But it did feel like that.

Everytime I attempted to get up the same happened, so I spent the day laying on the settee trying to look after the kids, not easy. Towards the evening it was a bit better and by Saturday afternoon the dizziness had completely gone. All that remained was a really heavy chest, with lots of cr@p on it (no cough though).

Sunday I picked up my youngest and went to swing him round and after about a quarter of a turn had to put him down because I felt ultra dizzy again, was fine after a few mins.

Any ideas as to what it was/might have been? and what is the best thing for clearing up chest congestion?

Don't want to bother the doctors as they are probably swine flu'd out, but I need it to clear up asap as I am marathon training.

Any help would be gratefully received.
