[|Human|] I feel pressure/tightness in my chest and have had a cought for 5 weeks now. I had xrays four weeks ago and the results show my chest was clear and maybe a slight case of bronchitis. However, it still hurts and feels uncomfortable, no pain just discomfort.
[|AI|]  Hello, Bronchitis is inflammation of airways. It causes bronchospasm. And this, in turn, causes chest tightness, pain, pressure etcetera. So your chest tightness is mostly due to bronchitis which is not cured completely. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done a clinical examination of the respiratory system and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). PFT will tell you about the severity of the disease and treatment is based on severity only. You may need inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or albuterol) and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone). Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
