There are several reasons you could be feeling this dizziness, or as rilsenic has pointed out, it could be "true vertigo." That you've been dealing with this for a YEAR now is long enough. It is definitely time for you to see your doctor about this and get it diagnosed and treated.

"rilesnic" had some excellent advice and suggestions and I think you should reread her posts.
I'm sure you'll be fine, but you must see your doctor about this soon.

Well, whatever it is can be fixed...so please try to relax.. I think you should call your doctor and make an appointment ASAP.  Not because anything is wrong, but because this is really stressing you out.  Yes, it very much can be anxiety. Whatever it is, I can tell you, a doctor can fix it.  If it's with the ear, he'll probably give you antibiotics or drops, if it's anxiety, he will probably give you calming techniques or meds, if it's vertigo, he'll give you meds, if it's your neck, he can fix that too.  Only a doctor can say for sure what it is...so make an appointment and get checked out.  You will feel a lot better.  Vertigo is not anything that cannot be treated or fixed...Yes, it is annoying when it happens, but is VERY treatable, if that's what it is.  I am certainly no doctor and can only give you insight from my personal experiences, but every person is different. Keep us posted on how you're feeling.

This sounds like true vertigo.  Vertigo is actually worse when lying down instead of sitting or standing.  You still must be very careful when walking or driving as your equilibrium is off and could cause you to run into things or have a delayed reaction.  Meclizine helps with vertigo but can make you very sleepy.  It actually is the only thing that helps me when I'm struggling with mine.  Once you have vertigo, you are more prone to getting it in the future.  Mine comes and goes.  It also helps to lay on your back with your head off the bed, a little lower than your back having someone hold your head up, and have them VERY SLOWLY turn your head to the right, straight up again, and to the left.  My doctor tells me to do this several times a day when I have it, and it does seem to help.  It does make me extremely nauseous, and freaks me out b/c I feel so out of control, but it does help the end result.  Inner ear infections, sinus infections, anxiety and other things can make you feel dizzy, but the spinning while lying sounds like vertigo.  Keep us posted...Best to you!

last night there was no spinning or anything...and nothing happened when i closed my eyes?? so idk what it is now?? like why it only happens sometimes...soo id think its vertigo or bppv b/c it isnt constant??

I am not sure in all honesty but apart from the Anxiety I am an overall healthy person. I get it in the night before sleeping

It sounds to me as if you may have Vertigo or Positional Vertigo.  I have it.  Now,  I'm no doctor but it sure couldn't hurt to ask about it.
