Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. Severe coughing in night with breathlessness is seen in 1. CCF (congestive cardiac failure)2. Bronchitis. So get done ECG and 2d echo to rule out CCF. Get done PFT (pulmonary function test) to rule out bronchitis. If both are normal, then mostly you will have anxiety and related symptoms. So avoid stress and tension. Be relax and calm. Don't worry, you will be alright.
