Yes, I did, but just once. What sent me to the doctor some time later was ever increasing breathlessness for no good reason. I was eventually diagnosed with late onset asthma which had been masked by the steroids at the higher dose but which became evident as the dose reduced.
The coughing/wheezing fit didn't bother me at the time and I don't think that it was linked to the asthma diagnosis which came some months later, but I don't suppose that I will ever really know.
