what can cause dizziness even when you're laying down
Dizziness that happens when you're lying down is usually caused by a viral ear infection, which can't be treated with antibiotics. Itâs a good idea to keep a diary of your dizziness, recording when and where you experience the problem, and take it with you to your GP appointment.
For example, panic attacks, particularly those that occur at nighttime, may result in lightheadedness, which can in turn cause dizziness and hyperventilation. Patients with post-traumatic stress disorder may also feel dizzy when lying down, although this is rare.
