Lightheadness/ dizziness blurred vision for 6 years now and ringing in ear for 2 month - need help!

Here is my background.

 I'm a 36 year old male software engineer and work at computers almost 10 hours per day and 6 to 8 hours with smartphone. From 2007, i'm suffering from digestion issues. So i had bloating and constant burping and also have sinus problems. I was diagnosed with gastritis. In 2011, i moved to USA Midwest and around  Aug got digestion problem where i felt pain in the right rib along with bloating and burping. I was diagnosed with non working gallbladder with no stones. Hida scan shows 0% working. In Nov 2011, i started feeling the dizziness/lightheaded symptoms. I ate very low fat/diet which reduced the dizziness some what but i don't felt fully recovered.  In 2017, October i was diagnosed with gallstones. My ultimate concern is the dizziness.lightheaded feeling compared to my digestion issues. I always have a feeling this digestion and dizziness is some what related, but doctors do not agree. I have been on a tremendous stress due to my issues and that is affecting my work and family life. Appreciate if any one have these kind of symptoms and had get relief. Appreciate if you can share your experience and how the problem got resolved.

BMI -Normal for my height and weight so far 

eye test -  minus .5 with asgamatism

The symptoms are below. 

1. Lightheadness/dizziness and blurry vision  all the times.

2. Tingling feeling in both of my feet.

2. This dizziness is more when there is some kind of pressure/swelling feeling around the face and eyes.

3.I feel kind of unbalanced when i walk in large malls, office and very dim light places and get headaches when i see lot of people walking in the office intersection.

4. very sensitivity to bright lights.(especially driving at night and feel very sensitive to backlights of the car)

5. Transition from low light to bright light and vice versa.

6. It gives lot of strain/dizzi when i try to focus especially talking one to one person or reading some thing in large malls

7. Feeling very low energy/fatigue

8. for the past 2 months , ringing started in both of my ears.

9. I feel some kind of pressure on the eye muscles. (i have seen this getting relieved for some time when i have food during lunch and again comes back)

10.Frequent neck pain

11. frequent cold and  watery eyes.

12. Last october  had 1 episode of vertigo where i felt the roof was spinning when i turned from left to right side on the bed. but no vertigo after that.

Treatment options.

1. My GP and gastro are feeling that removing the Gallbladder will solve bloating and burping, but they feel dizziness will not be resolved.

2. I'm going session for physcial therapy , my PT says my neck is so strained and it needs some massage therapy.

3. Vestibular exercises for the inner ear.

4. Taking B12 shots every month.

5. Going to meet the ENT doctor this jan to rule out minere's diesease.

6. Planning to check on my vitamin d levels

so far nothing has resolved my symptoms, the only thing which atleast reduces is a good diet with some amount of exercise, but not full recovery. I have always having a feeling that my dizziness/lightheadness is something to do with the digestion as majority of the time my stomach is bloated and burping. Appreciate if any one resolved their dizziness/lightneadness with the above symptoms mentioned. I'm more concerned on my dizziness compared to my digestion issue.
