Can tooth abscesses be linked to difficulty breathing?

First and foremost, I would strongly advise you to seek immediate medical/ dental attention in view of your chest tightness and breathlessness. That, on it's own warrants some urgent attention in my opinion. There are many other possible causes of those symptoms besides the dental abscess that you described. In severe dental abscesses, the infection can sometimes track down to the neck and chest areas which we sometimes refer to as cellulitis. In very severe cases, it can lead to a condition called Ludwig's Angina.

What should I do next for a wisdom tooth infection that is still causing pain?

It definitely seems to me there is some underlying cause for your recurrent infections. Typically, it is due to the way your wisdom tooth is positioned. Antibiotics do indeed help to clear the acute infection symptoms most of the times. In fact, some of my patients who originally scheduled for the wisdom tooth removal will call back to cancel the procedure as the pain has gone away after the course of antibiotics! Haha.
