A member asked:

Is there an association between bronchitis and shortness of breath?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly pneumonia: Most people with bronchitis do not suffer from shortness of breath but they do have a productive cough. If you have shortness of breath or fever then pneumonia is much more likely and you should be evaluated by a physician.
