Hello, I Have An Ordinary Cold. However, When I Cough,

Hello, I have an ordinary cold. However, when I cough, my throat seems to become smaller not allowing me to intake the air I just coughed out. Each time I again try to take in some air it gets worse and I start to panic and sweat , until I am very panicked and sweating profusely. It takes my entire effort to try to calm down and allow myself to relax and begin to breathe. It takes several minutes. This even happened twice in the last year without having a cold, just started coughing and then this breathing/gasping problem. It feels like I could actually die from not being able to get air into my lungs. What could this be? I am in great health otherwise and take no medications.
