1. My encounter with bronchitis

I had been on a vacation for one month to a remote place with my friends. On my return to home I started to feel chest congestion and blocked nose. I took some medicines but nothing improved. My conditions became worse as I got fever and things really got bad after that. I consulted a doctor who suggested a new medicine that had recently been claimed as the latest drug for chronic bronchitis. That drug did wonders and I recovered in a very short time.ย 

2. My family transformed my life

I smoked cigarettes heavily which caused my lungs to become weak and destroyed them from inside. I got prolonged coughs followed by blood sputum. Coughing and the sputum caused a severe pain in my lungs and it hurt a lot. My health deteriorated physically as well as mentally. One day my brother visited my home and saw me in a bad state. He immediately moved me to his house where my family rehabilitated me and everyone took care of me. My world transformed from a hell to a paradise. Now I had everything and everybody with me. Then I realized that a good family is the best thing one can have in life. With their support and care I recovered from bronchitis and got into a lived as a healthy person.

3. My brave daughter

Chronic bronchitis is a curse and my daughter suffered from it for almost three years. Those three years were very difficult for her as she had to go through severe coughing which caused a lot of pain. She also complained of suffocation and breathlessness. We tried many doctors but none could cure her completely. We had almost given up and we even stopped to give her medication anymore. But my daughter never gave up and always believed that she could get rid of bronchitis. She asked me to stop smoking and avoided polluted places. This helped her to keep air in the lungs clean and her condition improved. After a few weeks she healed and started living normally. From that day I see a great person in my daughter who inspires me to fight any challenge in life.

4. A turning point

A grown up man having a running nose is very unusual but I suffered from this condition due to acute bronchitis. I started having a running nose and it really embarrassed me wherever I went. I had to keep some tissue paper or a handkerchief available with me to wipe off my nose. It was disgusting and I badly wanted to get rid of this mess. One evening I was reading a book and I went through a passage which was about a cancer patient who fought the disease with great courage. I was really moved by his strength and then I realized mine problem was nothing compared to the cancer patientโ€™s disease. My thinking changed so I tried various medicines and finally got rid of the bronchitis.

5. I got my life back

I suffered from bronchitis for a period of two years and during these years I went through a lot of problems. I used to cough all the time and sometimes coughed out sputum. This act irritated people around me and they often gave me angry looks. I was not comfortable to attend parties or any celebrations. My life became very lonely and I lived alone for a long time. However, I was motivated after watching a women struggle for her life on a T.V. show. She had fought her disease with courage and hope. Her story inspired me to change my attitude towards life and I started to live my life happily. I started to go out and meet people, thus reclaiming my life.
