What Can Cause Pounding Headache,dizziness And Blurred Vision After Lying On Stomach?

Hello,I am a 21 year old female. I have a strange problem that has been happening ever since I can remember. When I lay on my stomach, and when I move from this position afterwards, I get a pounding headache. My vision blurs and i get dizzy. It lasts about half an hour. I want to know why this is happening to me every single time I lay on my stomach please Thank you
