Ayurveda indicate that the prime reasons for bronchitis are improper digestion and mental disturbances. A person suffering with chronic bronchitis often finds difficult to breath and may feel tightness in the chest. The narrow respiratory tract allows only less oxygen to exhale into the body of the patient. This may cause patient’s lip and body to turn blue and cause overall tiredness. In the advanced stages of the disease, the patient will get chest pain and ankles may become swollen. Many suffer from trouble sleeping and tend to lose weight. The damaged lungs may increase the workload of the heart which may lead to its failure.

Symptoms Common with an upper respiratory tract infection:

• Breathlessness
• Chest congestion
• Wheezing
