You will cough a lot if its bronchitis. You will cough hard and uncontrollably and you can feel your bronchial tubes inflamed. Also there is usually a bit of a "bark" to your cough. If its getting a little better it is doubtful it is bronchitis.
If you have a tightness in your chest and chest feels heavy or slightly out of breath, you may want to get checked for pneumonia.
