Head pressure

is it normal to feel a lot of pressure go into your head when you lay down? I'm 35 weeks pregnant going on to 36 and every time I lay down I feel all this pressure go into my head idk if it's blood pressure or what but I just know it's pressure. How can I make it go away? And why does it happen when I lay down? Has this happened to anyone else?

I am 35 weeks an 2 day an that has been happening to me since week 25 just put a extra pillow under you head an it will go away but you can't lay totally flat because of the major vain that runs from the top of your body to the lower part that supplies all the blood the weight of the baby cuts it off when you lay all the way flat I hope that helps
