hi welcome to health care magic.
There are quite a good number of possibilities that can result in similar complaints that you described
The first one is gastro oesophageal reflux disease-it usually comes out as dry cough immediately after lying down
The second possibility include post nasal drip following a respiratory infection
It is also advisable to get a cardiac examination done, as early cardiac failure can also present as cough on lying down
If the present medications do not yield good results i would recommend you to consult a general physician and get yourself examined. All the best
