Have you been tested for anything?  Do you have asthma?  Ask your doctor about PPH (primary pulmonary hypertension).  Chances are you don't have it but if you do it's good to diagnose it early.  I totally don't mean to scare you at all, it's just how my mom's symptoms started and it took the doctors years to find out that she had PPH.
