I feel chest pains for a while. It has started with a cough only but then the pain appeared. I am 40 years old and I am a smoker. I am afraid of the doctors and I don't like hospitals. I think that I have bronchitis. I need you to tell me something about bronchitis diagnosis so I can be certain.
I must tell you that it is rather irresponsible to play doctor in that age! You must go and see the doctor it is very serious. Bronchitis evolves from an inflammatory process involving the airways and distal airspaces. Increased activity of oxidants combined with decreased activity of antioxidants, termed oxidative stress has been implicated in the development of inflammation and bronchitis. I hope this helps!
