Sounds like you could possibly have Asthma also. I would recommend going to see a Doctor for that.
Asthma symptoms are pretty much what you have described (wheezing, shortness of breath, prolonged expiration and an irritated cough). The chances of developing Asthma can be increased if someone in your family has it already. This was the case for me where my father and his 2 brothers all had it, so i also then suffered from Asthma.
My parents were reluctant to put me on regular drugs from such a young age (12 years) so instead they looked at natural ways to reduce the symptoms and attacks. Basicly i was advised by a natropath that there were certain natural chemicals in foods that would reduce inflammation within the body and that changing my diet to include more of these chemicals could help, it did. By eating certain fruits and vegetables as my regular diet greatly reduced the attacks i had. It went from having an attack every 2 weeks to once every 12 months. It took a few weeks for me to notice the changes however once i did i never looked back. I still carried my inhaler everywhere with me however i was able to exercise, surf (asthma attacks while in the surf are terrifying) and do all the other things i loved without worring so much.
Obviously i would see a doctor however i would also look at your diet to see if there are other preventative things that can be done for little or no extra cost.
I just found this that may be of interest. It has a full 60 day money back guarantee and is not expensive anyway. It is not the same book that i had as a child however it sounds very similar.
