What is causing my lightheadedness and these hot flushes over my body? Virus related?

I have been unwell for about 3 months. Doctors believe its a due to a virus that hasn't exited my system.

I have had middle ear infection which is now cleared, chronic gastritis/acid reflux which were found by endoscopy and im currently taking nexium.

I have had blood tests which show normal blood count and i have tested negative to HSV, EBV, HIV, Hep B & C.

The ongoing symptoms that i have been experiencing for 3 months are lightheadedness, unsteady feeling (not dizziness),confusion, lousiness/drowsiness & the feeling of "not being all there".

Recently i have been feeling these hot flushes over my body. I do not have a fever and my temperature is normal but i am feeling really hot on the soles of my feet, in my eyes, head, neck, hands and back which has not gone away. Feels like being down with a bad fever. No rashes.

My most recent blood test showed that my thyroid TSH level was low. Im due for a thyroid scan. Could this be the cause of the hot flushes? virus?

I have done a Brain MRI, Adomen scan, seen a Neurologist and ENT. All was normal. I have also seen a balance specialist who did a caloric test and found out that my right vestibular nerve was weak. Could be due from a virus?

Wow it could be anything. I'd go for the thyroid scan and go from there, seeing as your TSH levels are low.
