Feeling very anxious about my cough. Anyone medical about?

I'm fairly sure I'm being silly but i'm feeling very anxious.
I woke up this morning with a horrible cough. I was fine when I went to bed.
I'm feeling absolutely awful, exhausted from coughing and generally unwell.
The thing that's making me anxious is that I ate a curry lateish last night and woke up with indigestion.
I remember taking an indigestion tablet but i think I fell back asleep while it was dissolving in my mouth.
I'm a bit anxious in general but not usually about health stuff but I keep wondering if I could have aspirated something in my sleep.
I'm not struggling to breathe or anything and if that happens I wouldn't hesitate to get medical help.
Just wondering if it's sounds at all likely that this could happen.
Thanks

Also, obviously I know nobody can diagnose me or anything.

At worse it could be a bit of reflux or youre going down with something.

Don't worry from one HA sufferer to another i know thats easy to say

I'm sure you're fine. If I eat too late/too greasy/too fast I get shocking heartburn and an endless tickly cough which goes instantly if I somehow prop myself up in bed.
I've fallen asleep with a Bisodol in my mouth - apart from having a gob like a teacher's chalkbox in the morning there were no ill effects.

Thanks. I think even if something did go down the wrong way it wasn't anything much.
It's just the cough came on so quickly and i really don't remember falling asleep once I started eat the Rennie.
It's probably reassuring that I feel generally unwell so it's not just a lung thing.
