Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your situation and problem.
By your history and description, possibility of bronchitis is more.
So ask your doctor about possibility of bronchitis. Get done clinical examination of respiratory system, chest x ray and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).
PFT is needed to rule out bronchitis.
If all of these are normal than no need to worry much.
Sometimes stress and anxiety can cause similar symptoms. So avoid stress and tension. Be relax and calm.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
