Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic
it may be due to asthma as you think
but if you are overaged and especially if obese better take an ECG and rule out ischemic heart disease
better consult acardiologist if ECG is abnormal and suggestiv eof heart disease
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Take care
