I get that sort of thing too, but from the other direction. Sometimes I'll wake up in the middle of the night coughing, and have to sit up for an hour before it goes away. But (though I sometimes notice possible symptoms of the onset of acid reflux) I'm pretty sure this is post-nasal drip. Sometimes before the coughing starts I'll feel a sudden cool sensation at the back of my throat. Also, when I feel cause to take preventative steps against it, it's never happened when I've taken NyQuil. Plus it's been getting less severe lately when it happens, which isn't something you'd expect of acid reflux. Do you get cool at the back of your throat?

Also, I think you posted this entry twice.
