Thread: i was awoke from my sleep with a dry cough?

i was sleeping and was awoke in the middle of it an not able to go back to sleep cause i kept coughin lik every 3 to 5mins do to shortness or breath. i do have asthma. but could this be a first day of a really bad cold or something else. cause other than that i feel fine just the cough an im worried because i dont lik to feel shortness of breath. im going to the doctors today to try and catch whatever i got early if its the flu or something more serious
