Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your situation and problem.
By your history and description, possibility of bronchitis is more.
So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).
PFT is needed for the diagnosis of bronchitis. It will also tell you about severity of the disease. And treatment of bronchitis based on severity only.
You may need inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid.
If PFT is normal than no need to worry much.
Stress and anxiety can also cause similar symptoms. So avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
First rule out bronchitis.
Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.
