Hello all! I have had bronchitis this past week and took a zpack. I went back to my gp for a checkup and he said my lungs sounded good but that I could cough for up to a month due to healing and inflammation but that was normal and not a concern. He said to only be concerned if I experienced shortness of breath. Insert problem. My normal anxiety symptoms for me are a heavy chest and breathing. Like you need to take a deep breath or can't get a satisfying breath. So how do I know if it has gotten worse or its just my anxiety, which is really high by the way and I feel like I can't breathe right now! UGH!! :shrug:
