Specializes in Cardiac Electrophysiology

See below: Coughing when laying down can be secondary to acid reflux or GERD. Do you have history of palpitations? You should see your doctor and get a baseline ECG / Holter monitor if there's a concern about your heart beating faster. Limit your coffee, soda, energy drinks intake.
