When you have a cold it's not uncommon to wake up feeling congested which can cause you to feel as though you can't breathe. Having panic attacks can enhance this feeling. Try sleeping propped up with a few pillows until your cold eases. Take something for congestion before bed (if you can) to clear your nasal passages. It's likely that's all it was. But if it makes you feel better, you can speak to your doctor about it.
