Steroids: It sounds like you might have Prednisolone from a prior medical encounter. Without doing an exam, it's impossible to say what the right treatment should be for your "tight chest." a tight chest could be heart issues or a lung problem. You should really be evaluated to make sure the treatment is correct for your current condition.
