I'm a 20-year-old student and I've been dealing with bronchitis for the past 10 years. Every April, I struggle with breathlessness and a lot of mucus in my chest, it gets pretty congested. I don't eat anything that would increase mucus, just stick to simple homemade foods, but it keeps happening. I use a nebulizer to help out, but I'm worried if this is something I'm going to have to deal with for life. Do you know if there's any way to cure this or make it better?

I noticed I've been breathing about 25 times a minute when I checked my respiration rate. Is that normal or is it a bit fast? If it's not typical, what might be causing this?
