HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
If the chest feels tight and you are finding it difficult to breath and relax then it is possible that there may be constriction of the airway passages.
This can sometimes occur as a result of respiratory tract infections. The use of a bronchodilator , either oral or inhaled would be helpful.
You should consider re visiting your doctor for an assessment to determine if this is the cause of your symptoms.
I hope this helps
