Bronchospasm: You may have bronchospasm which would respond to selective bronchodilators by prescription (selective so as to not worsen your palpiations). A short tapering steroid course may be beneficial. You may have underlying bronchial infection. Sometimes an antibiotic is necessary. You should have futher consultation with your doctor.
