Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Bronchitis can cause heaviness in chest and chest pain on breathing. So we should first rule out bronchitis in your case. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done 1. Clinical examination of respiratory system 2. PUT (Pulmonary Function Test). PFT is must for the diagnosis of bronchitis. It will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment of bronchitis is based on severity only. You may need inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS). If all these are normal then possibility of stress and anxiety is more. So avoid stress and tension, be relaxed 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.
