Mucus: Post nasal drip may be occurring when you're reclining during bedtime. If mucus is very thick and your bedroom is very dry, a humidifier in your bedroom may help. To liquify very thick mucus, irrigating nasal passages with warm, salt water and taking a mucus loosening medication like mucinex should help. A pulmonologist and pulmonary function tests should shed light on your lung status and ?asthma
