Hello , what you have described can be because of the heart particularly when the when the heart cannot accomadate the increased blood on lying down increasing the backpressure in the lungs . It can be because of other simple reasons like reflux gastritis , where on lying down the stomach acid regurgitates back . By all means a visit to your doctor so he can examine you and oder necessary tests is highly recommended . Regards Dr. Mody
