Doctor said i had a virus and it isn't getting better when i lay down i feel fine but as soon as i get up i'm dizzy and sick again ?

Labyrinthitis?: It is possible that the structures in the middle ear which allow you to have a sense of position are inflamed. You should see an ENT doctor and be evaluated and treated appropriately. This can definitely be due to viral infection, but other things are possible. Good luck and best wishes for rapid improvement.
