My son seems to be having trouble breathing, what could it be?

Question

He's two, and is really healthy. I don't smoke, and he's not around anyone that does.
He's taking 2-3 normal breathes, then he'll inhale and hold it for about 3 or 4 seconds and then grunt as he's exhaling. 
He's been doing it for a few days now. He has a little  bit of a running nose, but it's not that bad.

we were in the emergency room 2 days ago b/c he had such a hard time breathing.

I think you should call his peditrician. They will tell you what to do, they know his medical history and such.
