Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. You are having pleuritic chest pain, breathing difficulty and burning of chest. All these symptoms are commonly seen with lung infection and bronchitis. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done 1. Clinical examination of respiratory system. 2. Chest x-ray 3. PUT (pulmonary function test). Chest x-ray is needed to rule out lung infection. PFT is must for the diagnosis of bronchitis. You may need antibiotics, inhaled bronchodilator and inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) on the basis of these reports. Don't worry, you will be alright. First diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
