I have no idea if this is true, and I am a bit skeptical. I have suffered from chronic migraine and cervicogenic headache for years, and IME, the only way I can get relief is by sitting up vertically (while the meds kick-in). If I lie down or inclined at all the headache (either type) will not go away, and will often get worse.

No harm in trying either method, but everyone is different, with different causes and responses.
