Two different things: Bedbugs are a challenge- centers for disease control has great website information about bedbug control. It is hard to say why you you are having chest tightness and pain with breathing. Best to be checked out by your doctor asap.

Agree w Dr. Pointset: Bed bug bites may have no sx's/signs except for 2 small skin puncture points. A reaction may show from an hr to several days later. It can cause itchy, pink, swollen, lesions w clear center. If hypersensitive blisters may occur. Telltale sign is linear track of lesions from sequential feedings – doesn't always occur. Bites are in areas exposed while sleeping-arms, shoulders, neck ; legs.
