((((((((Hunny))))))))),

I'm very sorry this happened to you, but it sounds as if you did the correct thing. I have been a Respiratory therapist for over 25 years now and have done testing for asthma and for sulfite sensitivities. Grapes (and wine) are treated with sulfites as preservatives. That would be my guess as the thing that started the chest tightness and shortness of breath. This happens because your body has an allergic type of reaction to the sulfite. It makes your breathing passages swell on the inside which makes it harder to breath. The swelling can cause a feeling like pressure in the chest. As you become short of breath, your heart must work harder and so it beats faster also - causing your tachycardia.

When you take your "puffer" or inhaler, that medicine is designed to work quickly (will start to work immediately and have peak effect in about 15 minutes - other inhalers have different actions) to reverse the swelling in your air passages. As the air passages open and you breathe easier, you will relax and your heart rate will slow.

I don't know about your therapy dislodging things. I'm still new at that yet. I hope you get things straightened out soon. Take care.
