Exam: Get a thorough physical exam including a chest x-ray and pulmonary function testing.. This is NOT NORMAL, suggests airway inflammation or obstruction.

Lots of things: You have to give a much better history. Things to think about might be pleurisy, various allergies. Any of the people who you spend time with have similar symptoms? See your doc.
