Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I had bronchitis, a few months ago, I am recover but I am unsure if I could be athletic again? Because in my PE class I was barley running I ran out of breathe and it was hard to breathe and I felt a little of heart pain. So could I be athletic again, and how?
Bronchitis can be treated with medications effectively, you can become an athlete after you have been treated completely.
Visit ER, have sputum culture, X-Ray, Spirometry test done. Your treatment will depend upon the severity of the pathology detected. You may have to stay under long-term medication.
Quit smoking, stay away from pollution or anything which irritates your lungs, avoid drug abuse, eat homemade healthy food rich in calcium & protein. Avoid oily, spicy junk food. Do regular exercises.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Nupur K,
General & Family Physician
