Sorry I can't offer advice, but I can relate to what you are going through. I fight this whenever I go out in public. If I focus on it I get hit with vertigo and start to panic.

I know exactly how you feel. I was getting so tense and having such bad back spasms I was prescribed Valium to relax my muscles. Things have been really rough lately though and my stress has been through the roof.

Before that I still got like that but not as bad. A bath, a hot water bottle or some gentle exercises helped then.

Mindfulness breathing exercises are also very helpful as they engage your parasympathetic nervous system. This is the calming side of your nervous system.
