That is a different approach!
My lungs are good. GERD causes coughing at night, but I take liquid Mylanta before bed and that really helps.

GERD is a cause for of pulmonary fibrosis. Have you had a pulmonary function test? Are your percent of estimated functions within range for your age? There should be a diagnostic summary.

Since you have GERD, are you being treated for it other than OTC Mylanta? Have you tried working with a dietitian/nutritionist to reduce GERD? Have you tried to elevate yourself with pillows/angle wedge?
Does your bloodwork show any abnormalities, deficiencies or toxicities?
