My doctor told me I get sweats its from exertion..I'll get a coughing fit and I get sweaty..she says to my body its the same as exercise it has to work harder which makes me break out in a sweat

I'd suggest that you see your doc. A "stage one" cold is often the first sign of an exacerbation and you want to avoid that. You especially want to avoid ending up in the hospital; getting really sick often does more lung damage that you can't recover from. The night sweats may be part of your exacerbation. At least call you doc, describe your symptoms, tell them what you're doing to feel better and ask what you should do next.

Thanks
