Hello
I share your concern
Chest pressure with difficulty in breathing might be related to heart or lung disease, it warrnats detailed evaluation to find out the underlying cause.
If possible upload me all the reports so that I will be able to guide you better.
However, I would advise you for EKG, blood investigation like CBC, ESR, pulmonary function test, sputum microscopy since you are also having cough in night and X Ray chest or CT chest.
Meanwhile deep breathing exercises and steam inhalation is advisable
You may require bronchodilator group of drug like salbutamol inhaler for difficulty in breathing.
hope I could answer your question, please write back to me with all the details what all medicines you are taking and scan copy of all the reports, so that I will be able to tell you more precisely.
Best wishes
