This wheezing worries me. Is it serious?

No big deal. Exercise induced asthma, I suppose. Happens this time of year, maybe because of the cool dry air or something. I chatted with Dr. Lex for a few minutes after I finished, and she mentioned the idea of getting an inhaler, but after 5 or 10 minutes the symptoms were gone, so I'm not concerned.

I've been prescribed inhalers a few times over the years for the same thing - never found them worth the bother...

Actually the Albuterol inhaler, which is just a smooth muscle relaxant, works wonders for my cold-weather/exercise-induced asthma...! TriARgirl would probably tell you the same thing.
