What Causes Congestion And Tightness In The Chest?

Hi there doctor, I have been to two different doctors. The second doctor helped. I have mucus, congested, unable to sleep, low body temp 97 degrees, yellow eyes, tightness in my chest and weakness. I received pro air and a nebulizer treatment and antibiotics. Will I relapse? I don t smoke this episode is by far the the worst. Thank you for your time Michele
