Wheeze
A wheeze is a high-pitched whistling sound made when air flows through narrowed
airways in the lungs, usually when people breathe out. Wheezing is a common symptom
in people who have asthma, although people can wheeze for reasons other than asthma.
A doctor can listen for wheezing through a stethoscope, but sometimes wheezing can
be heard even without a stethoscope.
