Cough , wheezing

I have this sometimes severe coughing fit but it's only at night
obviously after laying down. I wake up and cough, usually with
clear phlegm or sometimes slightly colored. Some wheezing also. this lasts for
a couple hours and drinking tea with honey doesn't do much.
I'm assuming this may be related to sinus????
Any info?

Elevating the head of your bed could also help if it is acid reflux. Coughing when lying down can also be a symptom of congestive heart failure. When I was undiagnosed with sleep apnea, I would awaken in a violent coughing fit like something had gone down the wrong way, and in retrospect realize those were likely times when my breathing stopped and had struggled to resume. Have you been seen by a doctor for this? No matter what the cause, medical treatment may be able to help and prevent it worsening.

It may also be acid reflux.  You might try some over the counter acid controllers to see if that helps.
