Chest pain bronchitis
Common Questions and Answers about Chest pain bronchitis
chest
Sometimes for some unlucky people, bronchitis can take up to 2 months to get rid of the dry cough. Your lungs are still healing. Be glad your lung function test results were normal. I had acute bronchitis over 4 months ago ( I also have asthma) and I still now have a wet cough. I bring up mucous from my lungs every day and my lung function is not quite the same anymore. Your chest is probably sore from all of the coughing, which is hard work on the body. Just have patience, it will clear up.
to be sure, but you could even have viral bronchitis which would cause the pain in your chest, or the lingering of a cold along with mild heartburn.
In addition, heart pain is not likely to intermittent or lasting 24 hours. It's the bronchitis still, I've had that symptom for weeks after recovery.
Most lung or chest wall pain, which includes the ribs, muscles, cartilage, etc, occurs with inspiration as does classic pleurisy. Still, the pain you describe is worrisome and calls for further investigation. I wonder about the diagnosis of chronic bronchitis “most of my life”. If it began in childhood, for example, and especially if it is not related to cigarette smoking, it may not be chronic bronchitis, but rather some other type of chronic lung disease, including asthma.
it had gone to both lungs and being having problems ever since. The night I had this pain I ran fever and pain in chest and ribs and presure in chest and it kept getting worse where It hurt to breathe. I went to doctor and I was Addmitted to hosptail for PE.
Ever since the PE i had chest pain and i felt i could not breathe.
I have experienced chest pain for the past two days. This chest pain is in my upper chest, almost right behind the sternum. The pain is very intense when I bend over (as in to wash my face) or when I take deep breathes. It is a continuous pain and I have no noticed it intensify after eating. I have experienced this pain before starting a few months back. The pain is not so noticeable when I am standing or sitting so often it is hard for me to determine exactly when the pain goes away.
My husband is almost 28 years old, tall and very skinny. He was diagnosed with having very high blood pressure at the age of 16. Because he has been unemployed for a while we were unable to afford his blood pressure medication. Last Friday My husband came home early from his new job that he had been at for 3 days. He told me he wasn't feeling good & he felt really nauseous. He then ran to the bathroom & threw up.
I feel congested in my throat & upper chest area, & my upper back hurts a bit, and there is shortness of breath..
What could it be.
It depends on why exactly you're having the pain. There are a lot of things lined up underneath your sternum and on either side of it--heart, lungs, bronchii, pleura, ribs, thymus, esophagus...there are a number of candidates for pain in that region. I've had bronchitis twice, which caused pain under the sternum, and the treatment for that was antibiotics. But in the absence of respiratory symptoms, it's probably not bronchitis.
About 2weeks later I went to the doctor because I randomly got chest pains (thinking it was a respiratory infection) the LPN said it was Bronchitis. However I haven’t had a single symptom of bronchitis besides chest pain. For over a week I’ve felt like someone has been sitting on my chest. My heart literally aches, no other way to describe it. Like my heart is having hiccups or something is stuck. I have no clue what it is I’m scared but can’t afford the doctor. Could this be bronchitis!?
The feeling of having to “clear my chest or throat” is usually associated with excess mucous production, with mucous that can originate in the upper airways (nose and sinuses) or in airways within the lung itself (lower respiratory disease). That feeling along with the feeling of chest pain or pressure can also be associated with acid reflux (Gastroesophageal reflux), a condition that can contribute to or worsen upper or lower airway disease.

Hi philnoir,
Should i post this on the chest forum? Haven't found it when posting this.
No, i'm not being treated for chronic bronchitis. Only when i was young i did some treatments. But as symptoms of bronchitis and allergic rhinitis diminished i stopped treatment progressively.
No blood work nor sputum cultures were made although i showed her my recent blood work i brought with me. She didn't ordered any tests.
Pain with breathing is not normally heart related. You may have a lung infection, bronchitis or pleurisy. All will have chest pain with breathing. If it hurts worse when you breath in deeply, it's most likely not cardiac in nature. You should see a doctor if you're concerned.
Brochitis is the inflammation of the respiratory airways and not releated to blood flow to the heart, and nitro would be of no benefit for chest pain unrleated to the heart...sometime an esophegeal pain can be helped with nitro...but no other pain relief noted for nitro. It may not harm you to take nitro, but it won't help your bonchitis. Aspirin may be of some help.
Thanks for the question, and if you have any further questions or comments you are welcome to respond. Take care.
ve had antibiotics I am NOT getting any better with this acute bronchitis tonight I am having chest pains and back pains is this part of bronchitis or is this something else I should be concerned with Thank You Denise
Nausea and chest pain. No cough. I went to an urgent clinic and the doctor said I was wheezing and had sinusitis and bronchitis. Gave me an antibiotic and oral steroid. I did begin to feel better after about 5 days, but again, chest continued to feel heavy. I assumed with bronchitis it could take awhile. Now, about 4 days after my last prescritption doses, I get knocked on my butt again. This time my sinuses are severely blocked, chest pain, and now I have developed a pflegmy (sp) cough.
Those also can lead to a chronic cough. Acute bronchitis lasts 3 to 10 days and chronic bronchitis can last for weeks. Sorry to say. This talks about chronic bronchitis. Inflammation and irritation can last a good bit of time, making the bronchitis chronic or long term. https://medlineplus.gov/chronicbronchitis.html There are various treatments but lots of the same of which you've already been on. Antibiotics. Inhalers. And if you smoke, quit. You WILL heal.
I am 15 1/2 weeks pregnant and I have bronchitis. My chest hurts and I get sharp pains in my lower abdomen when I cough. Any advice on how to treat it. My doctor wants to put me on antibiotics but I'm not so sure it's safe.....
