Hi I have asthma too. I think the tight chest and palpitations are mainly coming from anxiety. Getting control of your breath helps both. I use mindfulness meditation and the 4-7-8 technique have a look on YouTube this breathing is great for anxiety especially when trying to sleep and or social situations.

Good luck so sorry to hear you are suffering with this!

Much love
