Hello. I'm a 26 year old female, about 5'3" and 105 pounds. I'm not a smoker and I don't drink often (maybe 1x/month). Oh, my - I sound like I'm writing a personal ad LOL. I'm just trying to give you some background information so you can help me understand these health issues.

I have been experiencing periods of shortness of breath for a little over a week. It often occurs at night. It feels better if I sit directly in front of the air conditioner, or if I stick my head inside the freezer (no, I'm not crazy LOL, sometimes I have to do this help me breath). Does anyone know hwat this could mean?

I have also had a very dry cough, throughout this time, as well. I have no phlem in my throat, but I can't stop coughing at night.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
