Sudden, Random Episodes Of Coughing, Difficulty Breathing. Causes And Treatment?

I ve been having these cough attacks for two days randomly. Like they re something in my throat . I haven t been sick or done anything out of the ordinary. I just really want it to go away because I randomly get them, even at night. And I can t help it cough loud and dramatic, as if I can t even catch my next breath. I drink water but it s only a mold relief for the moment. What s wrong with me and how do I get rid of it.
