Hi, i was recently by a doctor and was treated for sinusitis, but for the past hour i've been struggling to breathe. my chest is tight and painful?

Get checked: A sinus infection is a separate issue but can trigger an asthma episode or be present concurrently with another illness. If you are struggling to breathe it is an urgent issue that needs to be evaluated.
