I have breathing problems after bronchitis. Can bronchitis cause breathing problems?

yes,
Bronchitis can cause breathing problems during the infection. I'm an acupuncturist so I can't tell you if the problems can continue after your bronchitis is cleared. I would check in with your western medical practitioner on this one.
Yes.
Absolutely. Ongoing inflammation in the lungs will definitely cause some irritation when breathing.
Yes, it's possible that a case of bronchitis could leave lingering issues with breathing. You don't say how long it has been since you had bronchitis, but depending on the age of the patient and the severity of the initial issue it can sometimes take a few weeks to completely recover.
If you are more than 2 or 3 weeks out from your initial bout of bronchitis and you're still having problems, you should make an appointment with your primary care provider to get evaluated.

Yes, bronchitis can cause breathing problems afterwards. This types of lung disease or problem can be treated by cupping at the lung and wind points and then getting acupuncture and taking herbs.
