Why do i cough when i lay down at night?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cough when lying: May be reflux, or post nasal drip , even asthmatic may cough as your lungs are more compressed when ying down. Check PFTs, check for reflux consider ranitidine/ prevecid if have reflux, consider zyrtec before bed to decrease nasal congestion and post nasal drip if that is present. f/u /w/ doc
