Yes, asthma cause tightness in chest.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.. Yes, asthma can cause tightness in chest.
Xidraa is lifitegrast ophthalmic solution. It is used for dry eyes.
If you are allergic to it then it can cause allergic reaction like asthma and gives tightness in chest.
But honestly speaking, possibility of this is very less.
Please let me know
1. Have you used this eye drops before?
2. Do you have any allergies?
