Get checked: 2 things seem likely: either irritant/allergen/exercise induced asthma exacerbation or irritant induced vocal cord paroxysmal motion. Both are more easily diagnosed while symptoms are present and both are treatable. Depending on other risk factors, heart related chest tightness is always a consideration. If the symptoms are worsening, consider an urgent evaluation.
