The RN is generally less strict on such things than the RAF, but for the sake of your own knowledge and for a lack of surprises later down the line, try to find out what this is on your medical records as. If it's written up as asthma you may need to go through other tests later on to prove you no longer suffer from any ill effects.

Better to know than to go in blind.
