This would happen to my mom from time to time. She also had asthma which made it much worse.
The doctors would say that she was born with asthma and that cigarettes gave her emphysema. She would go into the hospital, spend about a week, and then would come out fine for another year or so. She actually seemed to enjoy the hospital stays and loved going to her doctors.
She died some years ago in her late eighties of liver cancer.
