Bronchitis or asthma?

I am 20, and feeling weak. I am lean, yet cant run for long. After trekking, running or cycling a small distance, i cough a lot. Can't even speak at that time, i cough till all the phlegm comes out through mouth. Cough lasts even for an hour or more. The same thing i experience when i am exposed to dust and some nights, i just woke up to cough.Also i can hear sounds when i breath. It worries me a lot.. i just need to be physically fit.

I took an Xray last month, and it reads,

- increased broncho vascular markings are seen in both lung fields

- treachea and mediastinum are within normal limits

IMPRESSION: features of non-specific bronchitis.

  • This history is compatible with asthma, exercise-induced variant.

    The Xray findings are non-specific and subordinate to the history and physical in this instance. Doctors are taught "treat the patient and *not* their Xray. The same applies to any tests done.

    You have asthma. Even if it's called "asthmatic bronchitis" it still should be treated as asthma and not an infection. An allergic consultation should be considered.

  • My brother is an asthmatic and after ten years his asthma has shown no sign of improving. He has been to several doctors but they didn't help much.

    If you want a proven, all-natural way to cure your asthma, without having to pay for useless medications with harmful side-effects, then this is the most important page you'll ever read.

  • Sounds like exercise-induced asthma to me, too. However, check the www.iTriageHealth.com website for both ailments. That will help you decide which it might be, then make the most appropriate choice for a healthcare provider to treat it.

  • try herbal medicine which contains Terminalia Chebula and your asthma will go away within a week

    use a herbal cough medicine that contains Adhatoda Vasica and your phlegm will all come out

  • most likely you have Asthmatic bronchitis with super added bacterial infection.you must go for analysis of your sputum for growth of Pathogenic organisms.If some bacteria grow on culture then you have to take appropriate antibiotics for a stipulated time.This will cure your illness.
