I have had bone spurs in neck and elsewhere for over 30 years and do not associate it with dizziness.  This is a question you should really ask your doctor.  Are you seeing an orthopedist? I assume so, as spurs are typically found in x-rays......especially MRIs.

You know anxiety can cause you to feel dizzy.  No room spinning.  Just a need to grab the nearest piece of furniture until it passes. Deep breathing is recommended by most therapists for this.  I recommend going slow until it passes.  For me, it is best to get moving.  This is what I do when home.  If you are driving you would have to pull over and get out and walk a bit.  

Basically the dizziness we feel from anxiety comes from holding our breath, or breathing so shallowly oxygen is not reaching the brain in sufficient amounts.  

There is a type of dizziness caused by small 'rocks' in ears.  Don't know the medical term for it, but they come loose and cause a certain kind of dizziness.  Room spinning type.

Wish you well.  See your doctor about the dizziness.  We can support but not diagnose here.
Best wishes.
