He thinks it might be related to breathing cold air (which also causes me troubles when I go for a run during winter). The feeling should be gone in a couple of hours, if not he asked me to call him back.

Glad that seems to be getting cleared up. If you are sitting and typing to scubaboard after an emergency ascent the probability of it being something serious like AGE was very low. Mediastinal emphysema at a minor level is not something you can do about anyway and is improbable anyway. If it was serioous you would know it and be hospitalized. Even carrying the weight of scuba could give you some of your symptoms if you are not accustomed to it. Certainly the anxiety of an incident like that gets you into some serious body checking.
OTOH, it you have issues with breathing cold air you may have exercise induced asthma. If you are at all suspicious of that you should do some looking into that issue. People can and do dive with asthma, as long as they are well controlled and know what they are doing.
