When I try to sleep I get cough?
Coughing often becomes worse at night because a person is lying flat in bed. Mucus can pool in the back of the throat and cause coughing. Sleeping with the head elevated can decrease postnasal drip and symptoms of GERD, which both cause coughing at night.
What happens if you cough too much?
Persistent coughing can cause throat infections, which can lead to an infection risk to other parts of the body. A chronic cough may also cause inflammation in the tissues of the throat.
Do you need a pillow to sleep on Your Side?
However you do it, sleeping on your side requires the right pillow to support your head, neck, and spine. Here are some pointers on finding the best side-sleeper padding. On your side, you need head and neck support, which may mean a flatter spot for your head and a curve or bump under your neck.
Why can’t you sleep without hugging a pillow?
Some people can’t sleep without hugging a pillow because it helps them deal with stress, anxiety, or fear. A pillow offers them the emotional and physical comfort of not being alone. However, pillow hugging isn’t as simple as it may appear.
Why do I have a cough after sleeping on my back?
Sleeping flat on your back or on your side can cause mucus to accumulate in your throat, which can trigger a cough. To avoid this, stack a couple of pillows or use a wedge to lift your head and neck slightly. Avoid elevating your head too much, as this could lead to neck pain and discomfort. Try an expectorant.
What kind of pillow should I get for my head?
Or you could try a memory foam pillow, which conforms to the shape of your head and neck. You can also experiment with a little roll, such as a rolled-up towel, inside the pillowcase of a flat pillow. You may need a higher pillow than back sleepers, since you’ve got your shoulder in the picture.
