Symptom #3: Shortness of Breath
Shortness of breath is another common symptom in cases of acute bronchitis. Shortness of breath is usually accompanied by cough and these two symptoms tend to go hand in hand.
While it is common to experience shortness of breath, it is more noticeable in cases when you are physically active and rapid breathing is required. As the bronchial tubes become inflamed, there will be some mucus and phlegm build-up which will partially block their lumen. When the bronchial tube lumen gets partially blocked shortness of breath will develop.
