Hello,
You are having lower respiratory tract infection most probably as per history. For that, you need to investigate with digital chest X-ray and spirometry for further work up.
Your heart is normal as per history, so no need to worry. According to reports further, work up can be planned. You can be prescribed antibiotics if the bronchitis is the cause.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
