I have severe dry eyes & throat only when lying down. not just during sleep, just when laying horizontal. am fine again soon after sitting up. why?

Lag and Sjogrens: There is a condition called lagophthalmos that you may want to read up on that can cause the dry eye symptoms. Mouth breathing and Sjögren's syndrome needs to be examined as well. You need to visit your ophthalmologist to see if these conditions are part of the cause of your constellation of symptoms.
