Hi,

I think the headache you are having when you lay down is due to any eye problem. Should:

- monitor your blood pressure (BP) and sugar levels; record the results for reference
- consult further with eye specialist
- get an X-ray of the spinal cord neck area to rule out arthritis or other vertebral spine issues.

Sometimes, bad posture can also cause this headache. Avoid raising your head too high or too low.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
