Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Would like to know the following details to give personalized opinion.
1) What is the duration of bronchitis and when was it diagnosed and when were you prescribed antibiotics? Do you use inhalors?
2) When did the numbness and tingling appear?
3) It would be good if you can describe the sequence of events one by one to relate the new symptoms and medicines to that of old symptoms.
4) What do you think works for you?
I think if it is severe bronchitis that causes shortness of breath (orthopnoea) that results in troubled sleep. We need to measure BP, pulse and pulse oxygen.
Awaiting for your reply
