I noticed last Friday..I was looking out the window when I all of a sudden couldn't breath properly. I excused it as "shoot, now I'm getting a chest cold". Sure enough I did get a chest cold (started that night and was feeling better by tuesday). Since then it has happened about 4 more times...yesterday I was driving home from the public health office when all of a sudden it was hard to catch my breath again. I made a Dr.'s appointment but can't get in until Tuesday morning.
Anyrooo..I finally got on the exercise bike today(yeah me!) and I had to stop. I noticed a difference in my breathing about 5 minutes into it. I biked a total of 10 minutes (thinking it would pass)...I had to get off. I ran a hot bath thinking the humid air would help. It's been about an hour now and my breathing is still not quite normal.

I know nothing about the lungs...I've never had a problem before. It doesn't hurt, there is no rasping. It feels like socks are stuffed in my chest...feels heavy too.

Any ideas?
