Being affected by bronchitis also makes your body weak and causes chronic fatigue. It gives way to other infections and your immune system is compromised. Shortness of breath and wheezing can also be observed as one finds it difficult to breathe and gasps for a breath at certain times. Chest discomfort also troubles the affected patients.
