Just call me wheezy

I woke up at 5 a.m. short of breath and coughing.  Breathe in wheeeezzeeee, breathe out wheeeezzeeee.  I couldn't fall back asleep.  It was a horrible feeling.  No matter what I did I could not get enough air.  I wasn't going to pass out or anything but it was very uncomfortable.  I don't have asthma, as far as I know.  I turned to good old Dr. Internet to find out what could possibly be wrong.  It's either bronchitis brought on by allergies or a side effect of GERD.  I took an ibuprofen, a zantac and more allergy medicine.  After about an hour I was breathing normally enough that I could fall back asleep for about a half hour before I had to wake up for work.  I'm feeling better but not 100%. 

Ok I'm going to call my doctor and get this checked out. My co-workers are freaking me out saying it could be asthma.

Sincerely,

Ginny Wheezy
