Sob: All of the above and more. Asthma is quite common and potentially life threatening. Cold and dry weather may trigger asthma.

Possibilities...: There are many possibilities for your symptoms. You need to be evaluated by your doctor but keep track of these episodes-date, time of day, what you were doing right before episode began, how long does it last, what makes it better, etc. If the episodes are worsening, go to the er the next time it happens so a doctor can examine you at the time of the episode. If you smoke, you need to quit!
