does gerd lead to coughing
Symptoms of GERD-related Cough. There are certain clues to suggest that a persistent cough may be actually due to GERD. A GERD-related cough usually occurs during the night or after a meal (when acid reflux often is at its worst). Coughing can also occur when you are lying down. If you do not find any X-ray reports to suggest that the reason might be something else or the cough happens without post-nasal drip or asthma, it could be related to GERD.
