A really HOT shower will help with your breathing.  Even if only while in there, but it will help.  That tightness you're feeling, though, TOTALLY normal.  For whatever reason, it's a common symptom of withdrawal.  Think it has something to do w/what the opiates do to our respiratory system.  Try that shower - it will help a TON.  :)

I can so relate and tell you it's anxiety... I haven't seen your previous post but anxiety tightens your throat making it feel like you can't swallow, sore etc... So just know its normal

Same with chest , mine feels heavy as brick, if I didn't know and live through panic attacks and anxiety before it would scare me, but chalk it up defenetly anxiety
