What Causes Dry Cough When I Lie Down?
I have high blood pressure, I am 33 years old and current weighs a 167 pound. I have noticed that I am experiencing a dry cough when I am laying down in bed. Appoint from that, I am also experiencing pain in the lower portion of my throat when I do cough. Currently I do not have a cold and any movement that I perform is causing me to experience those symptoms. Do you think that I am going to get a cold? No
te: It also hurts when I breathe in as well.
