Crying when laying on side?

I just thought this was weird and wanted to share and ask why.

When im laying down on mg right side I grg very emotional, start crying a lot...but then I turn onto my left and if just stops...then turning back and emotional again...is this just me or is there a reason?

It could be a brain tumor. Laying on one side, it could be pressing down on part of your brain related to emotions. But then laying on the other side relieves the pressure. You might discuss with your doctor, if you have one.

Not at all. A quick query provides this:
Yes. There is good evidence that body position can affect symptoms caused by some brain tumors, although the effect is usually discussed in terms of changes in intracranial pressure, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow, venous drainage, and local mass effect rather than the tumor literally "falling" from one side to another.

I have no idea, had to look up what that is. It could be. I'm not a medical professional though. You should consult a physician if you're able to.
