The experience U had is not asthma. Asthma is always related to a sudden, unexplained difficulty of breathing with accompanying wheezing and controlled only with bronchodilators (drugs).
What actually happened to U is a form of respiratory distress probably triggered by something U ate, drank or inhaled. It cld also be due to some emotional excitement.
There are several substances that causes tightness of the airways like caffeine containing beverages such as coffee, tea, sodas and chocolates. If U have taken these then U cld go into an asthmatic like attacks. Inhaled irritants are another. The attack in here is preceeded by series of cough and then the tightness of breathing happens.
Emotions trigger the release of some hormones that tighten airways. When the emotion is controlled, problem is corrected.
One cause tho, not known to many, is dehydration. The lung is one portal where water is lost from the body. This is noticeable when one breathes out on a mirror or glass. A mist forms. When the body runs short of water, the airways partly closes to conserve water. This causes wheezing and difficulty of breathing. So when water is taken, the body is rehydrated, the airways won't need to conserve water and so opens up for more breathing. U being pregnant share water that U take with ur baby. The baby needs more water than U because he is growing fast to catch up with his development. So episodes of having mild breathing difficulties are common and lots and lots of water is often the answer.

My brother is an asthmatic and after ten years his asthma has shown no sign of improving. He has been to several doctors but they didn't help much.
If you want a proven, all-natural way to cure your asthma, without having to pay for useless medications with harmful side-effects, then this is the most important page you'll ever read.

It is best to call your doctor to be on the safe side. I have asthma since I was born. Asthma is something you are born with. It doesn't just happen because you were pregnant. I was born very premature with a week chest and that's what caused my asthma.

You need to get checked out at the doctor's - it may have been a simple asthma attack, but to be honest, it doesn't sound like it. There are other conditions that give symptoms like you describe, and you can be more prone to developing them during pregnancy.
Get checked up.
Best of luck.

As someone who's been a lifelong asthmatic, and 18 years worth of brittle asthma, I would suggest that you go to your GP and get yourself checked out because pregnancy can make asthma worse/better and it can bring it out of hiding so it would be best to get checked out especially considering that you're 31 weeks pregant too.
