Wondering What Might Cause My Lungs To Feel Like Ive

wondering what might cause my lungs to feel like Ive been running hard in very cold weather. I live in Texas, and this surely isnt the case, I can be doing nothing and start to feel it. It hasnt happened to me alot, but the few times I have, its strange, comes from nowhere and lasts several minutes.

Hello,it appears that you are having episodes of bronchospasm which may be secondary to Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (COLD) or allergic Bronchitis.This may happen due to smoking or consuming tobacco,exposure to allergens and chemicals.You need to consult your GP who can examine you and measure your Forced ExpiratoryVolume (FEV1)by a spirometer,he will also rule out any congestive heart disease or cardiac arrhythmias which may cause similar symptoms.
