When do you get dizzy ? What kind of activity or movement causes dizziness ?

When I get dizzy spells, they usually last for 15 minutes or more. Basically till i take it easy and sit down for a bit. Its not a spinning sensation like vertigo. Its more of a everything is rocking a bit like being on a boat type vision. Off balance. Poor equilibrium.
The causes:
The things that cause dizziness right now are being in busy ambient places like walking through a grocery store. Walking through my condo hallway (with the patterns on the carpet). Driving. Talking to people in busy ambient places (like stores)

I have read about the epley maneouver. I thought this was only for vertigo from BPPV. I never came upon any articles that said the Epley would work for non vertigo type dizziness that i have. Do you know if this is correct?

I'm going to give this a shot. If i experience any dizziness, I am going to try and not to dwell on it too much. I am going to try and compose myself and let it pass. My personality is that I get too hung up on things. I'm basically trying to notice any symptoms I may have. And I'm really bad at handling setbacks. My brain works best with linear experiences. So I may not be the best at handling PCS. But I guess I have no choice. I'm going to have to program my mind to not get too caught up on every little symptom that arises.
Thank you for your responses. You've been really helpful with your knowledge.
