Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your situation and problem.
In my opinion, you are having asthma attack at present.
Cold is very well known triggering factor for asthma.
So possibility of cold weather triggered asthma exacerbation is more in your case.
So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).
You need inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid.
Antihistamine and anti allergic drugs are also useful.
Don't worry, you will be alright, consult pulmonologist and start treatment.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
