Anxiety?: Marijuana is known to trigger anxiety and panic attacks in people who are predisposed to anxiety disorders, more than likely this is what is happening to you. Be patient the sensation is likely to go away, if it doesn't see your pcp first. And keep away from that stuff.

New asthma: Without examining you, it sounds like an asthmatic response to the smoke. You should see your primary physician for an exam and possibly treatment.

Probably not related: The sequence is important. Smoking marijuana can irritate the lungs in sensitive individuals and an in say asthmatic this could persist. This could cause chest tightness. Smoking a small amount of marijuana seven days ago should not cause chest tightness. If your chest tightness started 7 days later they are probably not related.
