Pneumonia or bronchitis?

2018-01-29 21:46:07
I had pneumonia 1/9 -1/14 and was in the hospital. Felt better until this Thursday started feeling horrible again. Chills, sweating, chest pain when breathing, fast heart rate, exhausted, headache, body aches, cough. Bad wheezing when exhale. Went to the clinic today and doctor said was probably bronchitis. Should I go to the ER or wait and see if the antibiotics he gave me help?
