@picartist Are you practicing GERD precautions? I don't generally cough at night, but if I did, and I wasn't having some form of exacerbation, I would be questioning whether it could be GERD/silent reflux. GERD/silent reflux is known to cause coughing when lying down. If you haven't had a full GERD work-up, its something to consider. IMO everyone with BE should have a full GERD workup, but I know that doesn't always happen. Just food for thought.

@bayarea58 I guess a simple way to check would be to try something like Pepcid. My doctor has prescribed that OTC for my wife who has some Gerd. My only symptom of that would be chest pain, none of the other typical symptoms apply to me.
