A member asked:

Sporadic cough - only ever one cough rather than fit - and feeling of lung/chest congestion at night when lying down. over six months. worrying? dr?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Cough: One of the most common causes of Night-time cough when laying down is un-diagnosed acid reflux disease. May want to try OTC antacid meds first for a couple of weeks. If no relief then see your PCP for eval and possible imaging. Also if you smoke, try to quit. Good Luck
