Chest wall injury: most of these symptoms are related to chronic cough rather than short of breath itself. cough can be vigorous to the point the patient may have rib fracture, air leak ( pneumothorax) , and hemoptysis as well. in general those are rare events , the majority of chronic bronchitis patients do have chest wall pain related to over use of accessory muscles or chronic cough, get a chest x ray.
