At the time I was joking that my diaphram was broken. The event was at Canberra and driving home afterward, couldn't stop with the rattly coughs for ages. Got home and looked it up, and it seems to be exercise induced asthma. I've never had asthma in my life so I thought that was a bit strange. So just a common thing when one over-exerts themselves or somthing to look into?
had somthing similar to this recently. ended up keeping me off a bike for near 2 months

was a virus, but pretty much the symptoms you described. 3 or so courses of anti biotics later and countless trips to the health food store im OK..... Was mis diagnosed on at least 4 occasions as well which didnt help, whooping cough, asthma, punctured lung ( not kidding!), bronchitis, pretty much turning out to be none of the above.
