major discomfort and difficulties when i lay down

Hello,
I have been suffering with whats been diagnosed as Acid reflux by an ENT doctor. Having tried all the usual over the counter medicines and taking my prescription of Omeprazole for several months, i find myself looking to the internet for help. So far on reading everyone's experiences and story's with Acid reflux i can't see how my symptoms truly relate to all the common signs of this health problem. I can go most of the day not experiencing any major problems with my Acid reflux, only as soon as i finish work and come home starting to wind down does it all flare up and cause major discomfort to me. In this case, not once have my symptoms caused me any pain as such other than the odd bit of heartburn which is very rare like once a month if ever. My main issue is my throat from what i can only imagine is a build up of Acid stuck to the back of my throat which causes major discomfort and difficulties when i lay down trying sleep. In layman's terms, the only other way i can describe the feeling in my throat is as if i had a chesty cough that was all built at the back of my throat and down the top end of my windpipe causing me to repetitively trying to clear or move the Mucus that is or isn't there only it it very stubborn and will not move. Swallowing becomes an issue, not when i eat, i have no problems there, its when I'm laying down in bed and i swallow, seems to feel like there is something blocked in my throat and when i swallow it has to go around it rather than push through it, whatever it is that's there. I do not suffer with any stomach pains, belching or sickness. I would add that my saliva seems to be very stringy at times and every morning i have a nose full of snot which is a very pale color almost like wall paper paste. I have had tonsillitis and throat infections before and the feeling i have in my throat is very similar to this but without any real soreness or pain.

Any thoughts or shared experiences like mine??
Thanks for reading.
