Brief Answer:
Need to exclude an allergy to cold
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I have noted your symptoms and the most likely cause could be an allergy/hypersensitivity to cold/water, a condition similar to asthma.
Pulmonary function tests would help sort out the diagnosis.
Echocardiogram would be useful to exclude a cardiac cause for asthma.
I hope it helps.
