Suggest: At home you could try a humidifier to see if this helps with your chest tightness. Sometimes the humidity will help to loosen secretions and improve some of the chest tightness. Another option would be to contact your doctor and see if you might be able to use an inhaler during your episode of bronchitis prayer. The inhaler will also helped open up the airways and relieve chest tightness.
