Feel dizzy/lightheaded 24/7.

it started when i was in 4th grade, i was sitting in my class room and out of no where i got a little dizzy, it wasnt as bad when i was going through school but just within the last 6 years it has gotten worse and the last 2 years its really bad.im now 26 years old and ive been living with this almost my whole life, i never really said anything to my parents growing up because i was scared of the doctors, and im still that way today. im dizzy all the time and its worse when im in a store, trying to sleep, or doing something that i have no control over. i wont fly because of this, I will drive and it feels a little better, but if im a passanger it gets a little worse. im not dizzy as in spinning but as in i feel like the world is moving to the right all the time, i also get a vertigo feeling. im always worried that i have cancer or a brain tumor. i just never feel right anymore and im sick of it ruining my life. i havent been eating healthy for at least 2 years now and i know i should because everyone says if i eat healthy and take my vitamins that it may help out. i havent been to the doctors because im scared that ill have a huge panic attack and that they might find something, i dont drink or do drugs but i do dip, anyone else have this problem?

I wrote my last comment before you posted your second. Given that you do have all these other symptoms it does sound more likely that it's anxiety/stress related, but either way you'd have to go to the Dr to get a proper diagnosis.

That certainly could be anxiety related, but it could also have something to do with your ears perhaps. Could be caused by a lot of things I would imagine. I know you don't want to, but a trip to the Dr would be recommended to rule out any physical causes of this.
