Possibilities....: Possible etiologies include bronchospasm from any cause, post-nasal drip, GERD. Any or a combination of these could be causing your symptoms. Obstructive sleep apnea is another possibility. Treatment depends on diagnosis so see your doctor so this can be diagnosed/treated ASAP! Good luck!
