Can Ear Piercing Cause Dizziness When Lying Down?

I got my tragus pierced 9 days ago. Everything seemed to be ok. Until tonight.. Went to lay down and whole room seemed to be spinning. Wasnt sure if it was my piercing or not so I had friend remove it. Felt better and went to lay down and felt dizzy again. Could this be from piercing still or something else?
