Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. No need to worry if you are having three arteries to heart. If these arteries are normal, these won't give you any trouble. In my opinion, you should definitely consult pulmonologist to rule out bronchitis. 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). Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
