Feeling weird and dizzy for quite some time and now it's gotten worse

So a few months back on a walk I noticed a slight dizziness when I turned my head. Nothing 'special', just a little vertigo I suppose? I've experienced it more but never paid any attention because it just lasted a second or two. 

Last week I was walking in the forest and I suddenly got very dizzy and felt anxious and nauseous because of it. I managed to get home and the feeling passed when I got a quick lie down in the bed for 5 minutes. Since then I've been feeling very odd. I can't walk a lot without feeling dizzy and I have this sort of pressure-in-the-head feeling. I also feel a bit 'disconnected' because of it. It worsens when I move my head and I become slightly nauseous.

I wouldn't describe the dizziness as feeling like the world is turning or I'm on a boat, it's just... weird. Same with the headache, it's not really a headache. Just a weird feeling of my brain being squeezed without pain. 

I have a history of feeling sick without any cause and I have suffered from anxiety and am currently under quite a lot of stress because of various things in my life. My question is if anybody experiences these symptoms and could tell me if this is anything serious or another stress related thing? I have gone to the doctor before and have gotten blood tests and such but nothing can be found. On this forum I've seen more people with these symptoms and examples being given such as Lyme's or some auto-immune thing. I do not believe this is the case. Is there anything I have missed? Can anxiety cause this as well as myself feeling sick often without anything being wrong or without fever?

If this gets any worse I won't be able to work anymore (I walk a lot) so any advice or answers would be much appreciated.

Kind regards

    Hey please stop worrying. Anxiety will worsen in this situation. Please consult an ENT specialist. This is an issue of inner or middle ear infection. Maybe your auto immune system is not working well. Please check the Monocyte %, it must be on the lower side. This is a classic case of ENT or otolaryngologist!! This is also a benign case, even I face the same thing. At most, you might be asked to undergo vestibular rehabilitation. No medicine will be needed. Vertigo is completely a different thing altogether.
