Detailed Answer:
Hello sir and welcome.

Thank you for writing to us.

I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. I do not think you are being over medicated ma'am, but it does seem like the medications are not helping you as much as they should. May be a revision in your treatment chart is advised, you can bring it up with your doctor. But please also note that a little chest tightness can occur, are you sure the oxygen provided is sufficient, may be increase the dose?

I hope I have explained things in a manner best understood by you ma'am. Please do not hesitate to write to me about anything, I am always here to help.

Best wishes.
