Swallowing air when I breath

A couple of weeks ago I went on holiday to France and whilst I was there I was smoking. I don't usually smoke it's just social. I found that when I was on my way back I was struggling to breath and I thought ah well this'll go but it didn't sad I was unable to take deep breaths and the only way to do so I had to yawn. I was really forcing myself to breath. The doctor gave me a preventer inhaler and it helped a little bit, but I notice now that when I breath I swallow a little air. I now got this little pocket of air below my Adam's apple and it's driving me crazy! I am so worried these symptoms will last forever, I've never been so down and anxious in my life. Please help me

      No I'm not, just my steroid inhaler. What are your symptoms? Is it like you take a deep breath and you feel the air travel up your throat?
