Light headed/dizziness

Question

I have had this weird lightheaded,dizzy, unbalanced feeling for about two and a half weeks now and its scareing me. When I walk  anywhere especially far it gets bad. Its initially started with a big time vertigo-esk type of dizzy episode at work that lasted about 10 seconds. Since that moment i have felt this way everyday! I was told it could be an ear infection causeing me to feel unbalanced/vertigo but i took Amoxicillin for that and begining to thinks its not that. I have had anxiety in the past but nothing to bad and not to this degree of making me lightheaded.  my head always feels funny now, it messes with my concentration and makes me fearful and unable to do anything active. What is this......all I read gives vague answers.

I am having dizzy spells everyday. I have been on Pritiq for 3 months and have been getting dizzy spells for the last 2 weeks. I am now  trying Stemetil, seems better.

I've been having the light-headed feeling too and my doc spent about 2 minutes with me and said it's anxiety. She gave me pills, but I know that's not what this is and I refused to take them. I go back in 6 weeks and I'm going to tell her straight that I want an MRI. If she refuses, I'll find a different neurologist who will do it.

Ahh I just made a new post on this same feeling. For me I assume that this is anxiety because that's my only problem. It doesnt make sense for it to be anything different & it cant be the medication because im not even on any!!! I dont know what to do either....I wish it would go away, im so scared to go out in public insase I faint or fall over from this feeling =S
