Night cough - fluid

[brendannoyes]

For the past 6 months in the middle of the night I have woken up coughing (choking like) to find my mouth full of clear like fluid (almost like spit).  When I get up and spit out the fluid I am fine.  I go back to bed with no issues.  This happens 2-3 times a month ..always in the middle of the night and I am always able to get back to bed.  I am fine during the day.  I have no other symptoms-I feel great.  I am 45, but when I was a kid I had bad asthma..Is my asthma back

As bsml stated, acid reflux sounds like a good guess.

Eating while sitting two hours before lying down (no floor eating) and sleeping with an angled cushion sometimes solves the problem.

You should talk to your dr.  It sounds like possibly acid reflux, and yes you can have acid reflux with not symptoms at all.  That is called laryngeal-pharyngeal reflux (LPR).  With LPR there can be no symptoms at all, but it can cause sore throats, sinus infections, asthma like symptoms,  laryngitis...  My husband wakes up choking on fluid ocassionally and I have once.  

I hope that helps.
