On occasion, since I was about 15 or 16 (I'm now 30), under certain circumstances, I will have tightness in my chest, wheezing, etc. It has always been after exertion. But it's been exertion with one of the following...
a) cold- usually around 40 degrees F or colder...
b) dust- wind has kicked up a lot of dust...
c) pollen- there's been a high pollen count (I do have spring-time allergies, so I'm not sure if this is another symptom if the hayfever.)
The tightness under my sternum has always taken many hours to go away- 8-10 hours, sometimes overnight. Occasionally, it will be a little less if I can shower right away and rinse off the dust or pollen.
