Possibilities...: You may have developed asthma but this is only one reason for bronchospasm. Other possibilities include acute or chronic bronchitis, empysema, gerd, sinusitis, etc. You need to be seen by your doctor so you can be diagnosed and treated.

Yes: Or, you can have asthmatic bronchitis, or many other asthma-like diseases the classification of which keeps blossoming. Things to consider would be family history, allergies, smoking, occupational and other exposures and many more. Get yourself checked!
