For the past 2 weeks seen several doctors about chest tightness and find it hard to catch my breath, i am asthmatic and they gave me steroids over next 7day along with usual inhalers, still the same?

Chest tightness : the other thing that might be causing your chest tightness is costochonritis. It is a pain in joint where the ribs meet the rib cage. Also acid reflux can cause chest tightness
