Winter allergies: It's possible you have winter allergies. We spend more time indoors, and we have the heat on. In particular, central heating units can have mold growing in the vents, and these mold form can release their spores into the air you breathe in your home. Plus, you may be spending more time indoors with pets - with the windows shut. Tends to cause early morning symptoms - because you sleep at home.

COPD: See MD. Even without knowing your age/ medical history one may venture to guess this may be COPD related to smoking or smoke exposure history. Chronic morning cough with sputum production sets warning bells off immediately. Chronic cough>8 wks different story. But MDs don't like to guess we need the info. Pursue pulmonology/spirometry consultation. Minimize your cardiovascular risks. Good luck.
