Unable to Breath

I have been waking up in the night unable to breath it happens at night but I think it happens in the day time but I can suppress the tickle or cough to prevent it, it is slightly harder with a sneeze !! I am 45 and not had this before it has been hapening for over a week now. It started after a dry cough lasting a week, I have been told it is ILS Irritable Larynx Syndrome and hopfully it will pass. It is extreamly scairy when it happens somtimes it can happen up to 6 times a night and if I cough it will hapen every time I cough casing it to continue for up to 3 or 4 minutes. I have been so scaird I have been to my doctors and A and E but they all say there is nothing wrong. It is controalable when I am awake and it happens 3 to 10 times a day. At night I wake up gasping air but it is going in to my stomach casing me to wake full of wind and unable to breath in or out through my mouth or nose !!! How comon is this ?????
Excuse the spelling dislexic..
