I have severe asthma and chronic bronchitis. Is it possible for me to fell and know when the bronchitis is kicking in? Every time I have had bronchitis I feel pain in my right lung. I have to have my husband pat me hard on that side of my back just to make it feel better and help loosen the phlegm. I know I have some damage on my right lung. I will feel this for about a week before I end up having to go to the doctor and be diagnosed with bronchitis. I never fails that I feel this pain and a few days later I am on antibiotics for bronchitis. My asthma gets worse and sometimes uncontrollable. I am on servent, flovent, albuteral inhaler, albuteral solution, atrovent solution,singular tabs., guaifen-pse, and prednisone when asthma and bronchitis get severe.
