Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. By your history and description, possibility of bronchitis (inflammation of airways) is more likely. Bronchitis causes bronchospasm and this in turn causes chest tightness, breathing difficulty, coughing, expectoration etc. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).PFT will not only diagnose bronchitis, but it will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment is based on severity only. You will mostly improve with inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or albuterol) and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone).Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
