Possibilities.....: Your symptoms could be due to bronchospasm caused by etiologies like allergies, acute bronchitis, etc. Since you don't feel ill, allergies are the more likely cause. An evaluation by your doctor is needed to make this diagnosis. Treatment would likely consist of bronchodilator and steroid inhalers. If your shortness of breath worsens, go to the er.
