The tight chest and coughing is driving me nuts. Any ideas on ways to handle it without puffers? I want to avoid them because i know it will only last until the weather changes. Thanks.

I once suffered from Chronic Bronchitis. I would suffer sometimes 3 to 4 times per year! Usually when there was a major change in the pressure outside (I live in the north, and the temperature spikes and dips do wonders to chronic sufferers of bronchitis!). Each time I would get horrible hacking coughs, hoarking up green phlegm..it was so frustrating!

Good old Vicks Vapo Rub rubbed on your chest and back helps a lot (you can even put a dab near your nostrils, if you are congested).
Take extra vitamin C, drink tea with honey and lemon, and you might want to try an over-the-counter med.
Be cautious, though, untreated bronchitis can turn to pneumonia in some cases.

Vivax has great suggestions (must be in the medical field like me). Try sitting in a steamy bathroom to loosen the mucous and then try deep breathing and coughing.

don't smoke, gargle with warm (not hot) salt water (don't swallow) and take NyQuil.
