Bronchospasm...: This sounds like you are having bronchospasm for some reason. The chest tightness and mild cough, especially if dry, are signs of bronchospasm. The caffeine in the tea is helping to dilate the breathing tubes. If it continues or worsens, see your doctor to find out why you have it and to treat it more effectively. You may need a bronchodilator inhaler, for example. Good luck!!!
