Brief Answer:
Could have an allergic component

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on Healthcaremagic.

I have gone through the attachment and the description. It seems that there is an allergic component involved. Getting your blood count (I am specifically looking for the eosinophil count) and IgE checked during such an episode would help in confirming.

Take cetirizine tablet once daily for the next few days and it should help.

Let me know if I could help further.
