What Causes Tightness In Chest And Breathing Difficulty While On Amoxicillin?

Hi, I've recently started taking Amoxicillin Clavulanate for my strep throat. It's worked well to treat that, but since I've been taking it, I've had tightness in my chest/difficulty breathing without coughing. It's not to the point that I can't breathe, but it makes sleep difficult and is very uncomfortable. What should I do about this/is this a serious allergic reaction?
