Hello, your not dreaming you and I have the same issues I wake up every night and to caugh up and every morning too I caugh all the time people ask me if I smoke I dont. Im going to try the oil of oregano and then when I go to the Dr for the 300th time im going to ask for Tussionex Ive been dealing with for 15 years to surgerys for GERD and many meds over the counter and RX nothing works.

I have a similar problem to yourself, and I know exactly how devastating this condition is socially and professionally - how do you even begin to explain it to a somebody you've just met? As for work - a quiet office just increases anxiety levels and constant sniffing just destroys any self confidence.
My symptoms at night are not as extreme as yours - however I find that exercise can relieve some symptoms and - of course - sinus rinses are important too.
Anyway I just wanted to say that you are not alone in this, and I wish you all the best. Don't stop trying different things, and don't let it stop you going out or socialising.
Take care.
