It could be an orthostatic blood pressure change, meaning your BP is dropping too low when you lay down.

What is your current daily dose?

Have you spoken to your doctor about this?

Once they got my BP down, the doses of medications I was on proved too strong and we've had to make several adjustments due to the dizziness when I lay down or stand up.

Current dose is 25mg daily. Once a day. Doc says it might be an inner ear problem
