Hi,
Until now you excluded a lung and throat problem but still you have to examine your blood and C reactive protein for a possible infection. I have to know how long did you take Omeprazole so if you took it for 6 weeks we could exclude gastroesophageal reflux disease too.
You have to exclude also a heart and thyroid disease too. And another cause of cough is the allergy you have to test inhalant allergens. You might be sensitized from house dust mites because you are more in contact with them at night when you are in bed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
