Well it’s pretty hard to distinguish is it asthma or bronchitis that is troubling you. The thing is that both disease cause bronchial constriction. Asthma is usually reaction on pollen, or any other allergen. Sometimes your pet can trigger asthma attack or something you ate. Symptoms are wheezing, coughing and tension in your chest. Bronchitis is triggered by infection with virus or bacteria. Usually coughing and wheezing is more frequent and severe with bronchitis. Smoking is making it all worse, so you are advised to quit smoking. Anyway, you should see your doctor.
