coughing when you lie down

Hi, This could most probably be post nasal drip associated with the chronic sinusitis that you mention you have. when you lie down, phlegm or mucus trickles down from your nose into your throat which could be causing your symptoms. Are yu breathless too when lying down? That would point towards a cardiac cause for your symptoms. Let us know about the chest xray and CT scan of your sinuses reports.

ve been getting my normal migraines, except my normal migraines have been more severe and even when I get rid of the migraine with the migraine medications or NSAIDS or even stronger pain killers like opiates (normal medication routine), even when the pain has completely stopped, then if I lie down or recline at all, then a different sort of pain starts.

1. This seems to be a minor inconvenience according to some medical personnel. What if it happens once a day? 2. Would a heart pacer making sure the heart beat is never too low be of any use?

I have turbinates hypertrophy that causes post-nasal drip but when I lie down I stop coughing completely and if the cough were caused by post-nasal drip it would get worse lying down. I was wondering if you could help me understanding what is causing this cough and how to get rid of it, thank you.

I went to a pulmonologist with the same issue, and he suggested Nexium x2 per day. Also richola cough drops and Alka seltzer chews. No advil, only tylenol. It seems to help some. Don't lie down after eating. I can't even sit in a recliner. My got so bad I couldn't even turn my head.hope this helps.

ve been lying down and propping up my feet, and my stomach had been tightening up quite a lot. And Everytime I lie down on my back, I can feel cramps, and my lower back hurting. Is this normal?

The bottom line is the bottom line...if you or someone close to you feels that you are having a heart attack there is no question what should be done...you call 911 immediately without pause. The reason most people take aspirin as a safeguard is to thin the blood and prevent clots....however aspirin does not disolve clots and clots are not the only thing that causes a heart attack...

This is my first year in Phoenix, have tried, cough medicines, Mucinex,Zyrtec, Claritin, 3-4 courses of antibiotics, on my 3rd course of Prilosec and now taking Anti fungal antibiotic with it. Any guess, of what it is?? Cough gets worse when I lie down at night, but it comes when I am upright in daytime as well. Have a humidifier now in my room. Sucking on lozenges help but only temporary. Please help me get rid of this nasty cough................

Found out at my last ultrasound that my baby is transverse. I'm twenty nine weeks and starting to worry a bit that he/she won't turn. My daughter was head down at twenty four weeks and fully engaged in my pelvis by twenty eight. My midwife says not to worry too much but to look up spinning babies if baby is still transverse at my next appointment. BUT everything I've read on spinning babies says that the earlier the better to get them head down from a transverse lie.

if you take robitussin or mucinex my doctor said its better to take the "DM" kind, and take only about half of the recommended dose

U have some time until she needs to be head down. By 34 to 36wks my babies dropped & were head down.

I notice that my Rhinitis gets worse when I'm lying down. I find my nostrils blocked & sniffling when I lie down. I have to use my Neilmed "Lavage," Allegra, and/or Astellin when lying down, even If I did't have nasal congestion prior to lying down. Is this a concern and/or something I should mention to my Otolaryngologist?

They precluded low spinal fluid pressure from the spinal block because my headaches are worse, not better, when lying down. I had MRIs on my brain and all was fine. My blood pressure got quite high and I was prescribed hypotone. I was also put on Trepiline, Tramacet and Maxalt and an amjoxycillin (as I had a UTI). 4 days later I was feeling a bit better and was discharged- still on all the above meds, and so have had to discontinue breastfeeding (am expressing milk though).

Me too no blood, maybe floating rib syndrome is what doc told me, same pains but not coughing up blood, back spasm, lung hurts when coughing.

I have been coughing all day for the last 3 months as long as I stand up or sit down. ISome days it is better and some days it is worse. After I lie down within 10 or 20 minutes I do not get the feeling of cough and I seem fine. My doctor is quite confused. My xray was fine. I am taking anti reflux medicine and is not helping. I used sprays and did not help either. Do you know what this could be?

- If you have a friend or someone with you, have him/her cup their hands and pound your back while you bend over or lie face down on the bed with your head and shoulders hanging off the side of the bed. (called percussion). It loosens phlegm and helps you to bring it up and out. - Good health to you.

I ate a very hot chilli a week ago and the same night my stomach was on fire and bloated , and since then my upper and lower abdomen is constantly bloated tight and hot especially after I eat and when I lie down which stops me sleeping also there is no pain and just mild nausea at times ..also my stomach acid was coming up into my throat for a few days after but has reduced now but I’m now coughing up green phlegm and my nose is burning ?

If you have a boppy pillow anytime you feel you have to cough or sneeze hold it against you and it really helps lessen the pain I've had 2 csections and will be having my third in August and my boppy pillow is my best friend for 2 weeks after lol

Hi Amy, DVT (deep vessel thrombosis usually the legs)) can cause pain and may lead to complications such as pulmonary embolism. DVT happens when a blood clot forms in a deep vein. It most commonly happens in the deep veins of the lower leg and can spread up to the deep veins in the thigh. Rarely, it can develop in other deep veins, for example in the arm. It can dislodge from the vein and clog a major vessel in the heart, lungs or brain.

I later found that for 4 months I had had pneumonia which caused me to cough every night when I would lie down in bed. It was after a spell of coughing that it felt like my stomach split with a sharp pain at the upper center of my stomach. It burned badly & it felt like what I had just drank was going out that place & I could feel it travelling to the right side of my stomach. This feeling has continued ever since.
