Chronic diziness and head pressure

I was diagnosed with an acid reflux disease, before that I undergone numerous tests such as abdominal ultrasound, CTscan of whole abdomen which turned out to be negative. I got this diziness and pressure in the head everytime I stand and when subjected to stress. Is this related to my acid reflux disease. It really worries me as if I have a much serious disease. I cannot function well in my work, I have this head pressure almost the entire day and I cannot exert myself in any work because this pressure in the head is kind of killing me.. Even while i am writing this question makes my head pressured.. What could it be?

Thanks for your replies, but I also forgot to tell that I already have this H.pylori (positively tested) in my system, I am thinking that it could be the problem of this chronic dizziness. I went to a number of GIs and they keep on telling me that this is only a usual reaction of the body. My doctor told me I may already have stomach ulcers which I think is highly probable because of pains and symptoms I am encountering, I have not yet undergone endoscopy. I stopped taking the proton pump inhibitors which I think are making me more ill, btw I already taken this meds for a year now and they seem do not work for me. I also took triple therapy for H. pylori but unfortunately I was not able to determine if that killed the bacteria because I was assigned for an overseas work and had no chance for a re-test.
I keep on researching for answers, I sometimes inclined to think these are just result of anxiety because I worry too much of what could this be and what will happen to my family if I will be gone. I appreciate your responses and do hope to get some answers..

I also have GERD but have never experienced any sort of dizziness or pressure in my head from it.
When you wrote that you get this dizziness and pressure every time you stand, my first thought was you may have orthostatic hypotension.............a condition most of us have experienced at one time or another. When we stand up suddenly after lying or sitting, we get a dizzy/woozy feeling for a few seconds. But when you say you feel the pressure most of the day and it's making work difficult, then it's time to see your doctor again and dig deeper. Is your blood pressure "normal?" Are you on any meds for BP? Have you been seen by an EENT for the pressure and dizziness? It's possible it could be a sinus problem, an inner ear issue or your eyes. The EENT can rule all of these out.
I can tell you a few things it MIGHT be, your doctor can tell you what it IS.
