Hi Dear ,

As per your query tour husband has problem of dizziness specially on lying down . Well the symptoms you mention in query are pointing towards a condition known as Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) . There can be many causes responsible for this condition like inner ear infection , postural hypotention , hypoglycaemia , migraine and vertebrobasilar insufficiency. I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist for proper checkup . Doctor may order test like dix-Hallpike test , ENG , blood pressure and rotatory chair test . Doctor may recommend vestibular rehabilitation , prescribe anti emetic drugs and sedatives .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
