I've been having this weird feeling at night where my chest feels tight and it's really hard to breathe. It almost feels like something's stuck in my throat. It's starting to make me worry. What could be causing this?

I've been experiencing breathing problems ever since the first wave of COVID. My hemoglobin levels are normal, my oxygen level is at 98, and an X-ray indicates I have chronic bronchitis. Is there any way to cure this permanently? I've never smoked or even tried it, so I'm really confused about what's causing this. Can you help me understand what's going on and if there's a long-term solution?

Salbutamol inhaler and budesonide 200 sos is advised for breathing difficulty.

I'm currently dealing with a tough breathing issue due to severe bronchitis and I've been trying out a few medications like the levosalbutamol inhaler, ibites inhaler, pulmoclear syrup, and also using a nasal spray for about two days. But ever since I started, I've noticed my heart rate is going through the roof, and on top of that, I'm feeling really restless and sleepy. Any idea how I can manage these side effects or should I be worried about them?
