General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry about these symptoms that you have reported. This is not very suggestive of pneumonia. The fact that this cough only comes on when you lay down raises the suspicion of a possible heart problem. However, heart problems would not cause a fever. What are your usual temperatures during these crisis? Your symptoms do not point to a specific and clear diagnostic option and more information is required in order to be able to do so and propose a treatment plan. Get an appointment and meet with your treating physician to look into this.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more clarifications and information if need be.
