I have an inhaler but it has ran out and my chest is tight is there anything i can do to ease the tightness

See a doctor.: If your chest is tight, you should try to contact your doctor, or one covering for him/her to get you a new inhaler. If that is not possible, you should go to an emergency room to have your chest listened to and they can then prescribe an inhaler or other appropriate medication, depending on what they find.
