Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.

Your symptoms are typical for inner ear problems that is associated with lightheaded while laying down.

If you were my patient I would like to recommend you:
- to take betahistine to relieve symptoms.
- to do audiogram and ENT consultation.
If everything is ok you shouldn't worry about your symptoms.

Hope this was of help!
