Suggest Treatment For Dizziness And Anxiety

I've been getting lightheaded a lot lately sometimes followed by a bowel movement. The feeling gets strong like the feeling going to faint or die sometimes feel like I need an ambulance. People tell me it's just anxiety cause I did lose my job and have been worrying about bills. About to start a new job now I'm worried it's going to happen at work. It happens sometimes when I go in stores, happens after I get mad sometimes. I got a blood pressure machine and constantly check it, and always it's around 117/68 and pulse is around 80. The feeling scares the hell out of me. Went to the doctors they say it was vertigo but it wasn't. I guess, nothing is spinning just feels like I'm going to faint or die, I drink a lot of water and it takes about an hour or so for it to go away. I don't lay down when it happens cause I'm scared I won't get back up. Thank you for any info you might have.
