Bronchitis: This is virus caused in >95% of cases. If you are wheezing and having any respiratory insufficiency (difficulty breathing) you should see a pulmonologist asap. Good luck and get better.

Definitely: Bronchitis symptoms are usually cough and wheezing. In a non-smoker it is almost always viral and antibiotics are not useful. If your wheezing and cough are bad and you are low on oxygen then the doctor may prescribe a steroid and inhaler to help you breathe better. It is also possible that you have pneumonia. See a doctor tomorrow for exam.
