Make the hole smaller that you blow through.

But this seems to only happen in the extreme lower register below G and upper register Above Eb...maybe im blowing too much?

Are you playing your Bundy piccolo during the same period? That might account for some of the dizziness.

Ya. Too much blowing going on.
As I said don't allow a large opening in your lips. You're wasting air. In the low range, you think that you can relax the lips and this causes too much air. In the high notes, you're trying to blow too hard and this causes too much air. Just learn to control the lip opening and the breath pressure/support so as to not waste any air. This is only my guess.
