What Causes Reeling Of The Head Frequently?

Since a few days, I am experiencing reeling of head. It started all of a sudden when I tried to get up from the bed in the morning. I have both lumbar and cervical spondylosis (or is it spondylitis?) and since the last five months, my working hours, mostly in front of computer, have gone up to 13-14 hrs from 10-11 hrs. Is this due to life style change or some more serious reasons?
