You are suffering from bronchitis that causes you chest pain while breathing. Since you are having recurrent attacks of acute bronchitis, you should take certain precautions to prevent it. You are advised to take extra care to boast your immune system. Take home made balanced nutritious food rich in minerals and high in protein. Avoid oily, spicy, junk food.
Avoid getting directly exposed to dust and pollutants. Take bath after getting back home regularly to avoid trigger of your symptoms. Quit smoking gradually as it can cause chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), that makes you prone to infections like bronchitis. Make sure your acute bronchitis attacks and symptoms slowly get reduced. Get clinically examined by a GP and get treated.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Pain due to bronchitis can be due to involvement of pleura. Treatment of bronchitis will resolve the pleural involvement. I suggest you to consult your pulmonologist for further management.
