I have the same problem and it's allergies in my case.
I was first diagnosed with Asthma/COPD. I knew it wasn't that so I went somewhere else and they diagnosed it as allergies. Well I've had normal, what I call hay fever for many years but I developed this wheezing and cough at night mostly when I laid down in bed.
Long story short it was definitely allergies. I take either Zyrtec or Claritin as about every 6 months my doctor told me it was a good idea to switch between the two as you develop a tolerance over time and they don't work as well. I found in my case that this was true. He also prescribed Nasonex which got rid of the nasal drip (down the back of my throat).
I get it twice a year. Once in the spring and once in the fall. Sure glad it wasn't Asthma too.
