Can tension or nervousness cause vertigo?

I've been under great deals of stress lately and I've been unbelievably tense because of it. I've experienced all the call signs of chronic tension headaches over the past month. I've had a band-like, constant, dull headache that originates from the back of my head behind my left ear (I also strained that area of my head around the same time the headaches started.. I was sleeping awkwardly and upon waking up I "rolled" my head causing a real quick sharp pain. Because of that i'm not sure if the headache is a result of being tense or cause I strained my neck/head), loss of concentration, anxiety, depression (i think). And lately i've been getting a vertigo type of sensation where I feel like i'm falling or spinning (I seem to get that when i "roll" my neck to the left, but I also seem to get the sensation when i'm extremely tense or stressed) I'm worried that the great deals of tension i've put myself through messed up the inner workings of my head and neck. Is that possible?
