What Causes Shortness Of Breath At Night And Fits Of Coughing?
Allergy?
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
it seems likely that an allergic (or hypersensitivity) reaction occurs and causes the symptoms. Since you're OK in the meantime the allergic etiology fits your case. You should visit a pulmonologist for appropriate testing (including spirometry). If you have any history of bronchial asthma, it could be mild asthmatic attacks. Other things to check include your heart function with an echo. Concurrent symptoms of allergy like itching (nose, eyes, body), sneezing, etc would increase the likelihood of an allergic etiology.
So in conclusion, you should check your lungs and heart starting with a visit to a pulmonologist. If you've already done so, please upload the doctor's report for further discussion.
Kind Regards!
antihistamine may help

You're welcome Sarah!
Allergies may cause it. An antihistamine may help. Asthma is usually a disease of the young. Asthma occurrence in patients of your age may raise suspicions for other diagnoses like Churg-Strauss syndrome. The pulmonologist should guide you further.
