what is wheezing? and how do we know if we are wheezing?

Answer 1

Wheezing is a high-pitched whistling sound during breathing. It occurs when air flows through narrowed breathing tubes.Wheezing is a sign that a person may be having breathing problems. The sound of wheezing is most obvious when exhaling (breathing out), but may be heart when taking a breath (inhaling).Wheezing most often comes from the small bronchial tubes (breathing tubes deep in the chest), but it may be due to a blockage in larger airways or in those with certain vocal cord problems.

Answer 2

it's a noise heard when you try to breath out against collapsing airways. You can do it yourself if you force a breath out and keep going - the high pitched almost whistling sound at the end is a wheeze. However, in patients with lung disease such as bronchitis, emphysema, and asthma, the wheeze is more prominent and heard continually, not just on forced expiration. It's not always as loud though, and sometimes is audible only with a stethoscope.
