What Causes Recurrent Cough And Chest Tightness?

I m just getting over either bronchitis or bacterial pneumonia (didn t get the chest xray). It s been 2 weeks. still coughing...chest really tight...but sorta feels like heart burn...feels like I ve inhaled hot smoke (but I haven t...never smoked ever). Is it heartburn or is it part of the respiratory infection?
