Hi!
Thank you for asking your query.
Dear ,
Looking into the history you have tolod you have been treated appropriately . Pins and needle senasation can occur sometimes after taking salbutamol but that is rare .Tightness in chest may be due to chest infection and congestion.
You can get a chest Xray done , with CBC which i am sure your doctor must have done. Accordingly necessary medications will be prescribed . You dont mention any history of fever which i would like to know .
Stress in young girls may lead to hyperventilation but that only your treating doctor can say after finding all the parameters normal.
If you have any further queries feel free to ask.
Thank you.
Dr. Shruti.
