Loose productive cough at night (excess mucus): GERD (Acid reflux), asthma or sinus problem?

Had a chronic productive cough with asthma 2 years. Chest X-rays taken said they were clear. A few months ago a doctor told me it was probably acid reflux cough without acid. With the pads, the protection system against cough and stomach after meals daytime attacks are very rare, but I wake in the night (1:00 to 3:00) cough and expel mucus. 30/60 for a few minutes away is the symptom and sleep the rest of the night is perfect. aerosol inhaler for asthma, as it helps to breathe much easier, but I do not think it appropriate. Even the majority in the evening and night, I feel full of mucus from the lungs and throughout the day, I have to clean my nose often. I wonder if the facts are related in some way, if GERD is the cause of lung mucus (bronchitis), cough with asthma and a runny nose (I noticed the tip of the nose after the meal too) . Or perhaps an issue that is now the source of all cavities. What do you think? TKS the fastest and best I have found for the symptoms have a teaspoon of baking soda in a small glass a few sips need to get tested for whooping cough? his sinuses at night they become worse, because the change of weatheri have the same problem a few times so bad I can not sleep.it casinos with our asthma.ua neti pod can remove it from the nose and help mucus to try. u can get a price not line.they much.hope that helps. and happiness. Be sure to lie to / at least 3-4 hours of sleep after eating. Raise head of bed by 5 "to 6" (You can get a few planks of wood from places like Lowe's, Home Depot or ACE). If after a few weeks, there is no relief of heartburn / acid reflux / GERD and still have symptoms every day, I would be systemic (oral) steroids, instead of trying to date. Check for sinus problems, overridden on September 1. If this is not a problem, then try a prescription Rhinocort Aqua like to see if that solves your problems in May, an allergy test. Also, drink orange juice a day, avoid dust, rest / exercise apparel sleep well, loose clothing and with all means to find ways to reduce stress. Acid reflux may cause bronchial asthma: reflux may be aspirated and initiate a reflex bronchospasm acid in very small quantities bronchoconstriction inflammation associated with upper airway reflux released chemicals that mediate bronchospasm. About 75% of patients with asthma have acid reflux disease. Reflux symptoms usually precede chest wheezing attacks. Asthma is also the same dietary and lifestyle factors that cause acid reflux symptoms began. There is a good response to proton pump inhibitors twice daily and treatment should last at least two months .
