Has anyone experienced a feeling of breathlessness after completing radiation therapy?

I finished rads in November and I am now getting a feeling, every now and then, like my breath is taken away for an instant - somethng like....I am about to sneeze or perhaps hiccup and the breath is temporarily caught just for an instant. Also, I sometimes feel that I can't get a deep breath and sometimes when at rest, lying down, I actually hear a creaking, gurgling sound, sometimes a little wheezing noise in my throat. These feelings came at the end of radiation and I am wondering if anyone else experienced anything similiar?

I will be seeing my onc on the 17th and will mention the symptoms.
