Heavy bleeding a week after period

Allison
I just woke up with period-like bleeding (soaked through underwear to sheets). My period ended less than a week ago and began on 2/26. I haven't started birth control or had rough intercourse or anything. Only thing different is that I've had a bad cough for the last week or so and have been taking cough syrup. Should I be worried?
