Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. Since your mother is hypertensive and asthmatic, there are two possibilities for nighttime coughing in her case.1. Acute left Ventricular failure (LVF)2. Asthma exacerbation. So get done 2D Echo to know her left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF). If it is lower than this is the cause for her symptoms. If this is normal than get done PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). If worsening Obstructive defect on PFT, then possibility of asthma exacerbation is more. So consult your doctor and discuss these possibilities with him. Also discuss starting anti-allergic plus antihistamine combination in night. It will give her more relief.
