it is worse when he lays down.

How are you?
Has your son been under undue stress or anxious?
Anxiety and stress is one of the cause of lightheadedness. Other causes can be anemia or low blood hemoglobin, low blood sugar, dehydration and low blood pressure.
I would suggest to him to eat regularly, drink adequate amounts of fluids, take an OTC multivitamin supplement.
If condition does not improve please get him checked by a neurologist. Keep us posted!
