Multiple things: Lying in bed increases the tendency to have gerd (acid reflux). However, other possibilites (though less likely) include esophageal spasm triggered by acid, coronary vasospasm and anxiety. It would be important to discuss such symptoms with ones doctor to enable an appropriate diagnostic and therapeutic approach.

Asthma: You have allergies and hypothyroidism, both would be more associated with asthma. For you this is stimulated by the cold itself or many people will have nocturnal symptoms. You also have gerd. Gerd itself can cause bronchospasm.
