Didnt you have this problem before? Is the sideways swimming more constant now?

Thats strange. Is he in the filter current maybe? (Had to ask) Without seeing it progress into a more constant behavior I dont want to speculate. Try posting in the disease forum.

no not in the current.Wait.....it looks like he only does that when he smells food.

When my lion is going after food, he kind of goes in a trance, watching it fall before he strikes at it. He goes straight up and down sometimes. Do you think this is a similar situation? How long have you had this lion? What size is it?

Ive seen lions swim, sideways, upside down, backwards, the works really - to get at food. If the lion is crusiin the tank and continues to swim sideways, unable to right himself thats a problem, if he swim sideways for a sec or two then right himself, that just being a lionfish.
