ever heard of asthma?? or maybe even allergies......

Sounds like asthma to me. It can show up later in life... check with your doctor?

it can be that you got scared, or that there was a sudden change of altitude?

Asthma or even anxiety

Shortness of breath can be caused by any number of things. It could be psychological: Were you stressed? Did you just receive some bad news. Were you taking an extremely important test? If so, your shortness of breath and faintness might have been merely a physical reaction to your emotional turmoil. If so, learn to relax and maybe look into stress management. However, this could be a medical condition. If this happens frequently enough to interfere with your daily life, or the shortness of breath is accompanied by chest pain, you should consider seeing your doctor. It may be something serious.
