My husband has asthma but it is not severe, however he's been taking ibuprofen and now says his chest feels tight & he's tired & slightly lightheaded?

Asthma: He has a dangerous condition and you should take him to either the ER or an urgent care center for treatment now. He may need a nebulizer treatment, a steroid injection and an xray to evaluate for pneumonia.
