Chronic bronchitis & wheezing

2017-07-08 17:32:44
I was diagnosed with chronic bronchitis after having 2 respiratory infections and was prescribed steroids and antibiotics earlier this year. I'm an opera singer, never smoked anything, don't live or hang around smokers. Why do I have bronchitis? And I've been hearing wheezing when I exhale for the past few days. Should I see a pulmonologist?
