Hi Jack,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic Forum,
This is condition of yours is called laryngopharyngeal reflux which is secondary to the acid reflux from the stomach. It worsens in the lying down position and causes increased secretion in the oral cavity. Please contact your physician/ ENT specialist for a thorough examination.
Take care
Regards
Dr. Naveen Kumar
