It could be anxiety, or asthma, a reaction to allergens, an infection, or the lungs shedding the residues of your smoking, or any number of things. If in doubt see your doctor.

Hello,
I am a 23 old female, who is suffuring from coughing and shortness of breth for about one week. When I wanted to see my family doctor, he said it is ok, and did not perscribed me any medication, which I needed badly. I am sure that without prescriptions these kinds of symthoms are hard to get over with.
Thanks a lot

I'm 20 years old. I've been having shortness of breath and tightness in my chest for about 3 days now and I just recently started coughing up phlegm. It really starts to bother me when I'm laying down. I thought at first maybe I was having an axiety attack but I have had anxiety attacks plenty of times before and it never lasted this long. I used to have asthma when I was a baby but I grew out of it [or I'm sure I did, I've never ever had a problem with it before]. I used to smoke but not that much, maybe one every other day for half a year, but I quit over 3 weeks ago. I don't want to go to the doctor if its something I can take care of myself, so if anyone could help me out with this I would be very grateful (:
