Hello and good afternoon. Thank you for your questions.
We truly understand your concerns regarding your breathlessness that occurred particularly when lying down which accompanied by headache, dizziness and blurring of vision or eye pain. These symptoms that you experienced recently might be related to each other somehow.
For your information, your shortness of breath is a type of symptom that is known as Orthopnea which specifically occur when lying down (compared to Paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea which cause breathlessness during sleep), and can be caused by certain diseases such as:

However based on your situation, it is most likely to be related with a heart condition that needs further investigation. Any cause can be included, but it depends on your medical and past history that needs to be evaluated by you attending physician. You also might experience other symptoms such as, bluish discolouration of your fingers, swelling of legs or hands, confusion and feeling nauseous. Do not to worry, early intervention might help in treating your underlying condition.
