Question 1

could burning incense cause you to wheeze when you breathe?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Consider the odor you smell when the incense is burning a signal that something is getting into your nose & likely your lungs in the process. Some smells, perfumes, vapors, etc will trigger a natural protective mechanism in the lung. This process narrows the airways to prevent the vapor (or toxic agent) from getting to sensitive lung tissues. If you wheeze with incense, avoid it before u end up in er.

Asthma: Asthma is recurrent wheezing, tight chest, cough and shortness of breath. Inhaling irritants like smoke can trigger asthma symptoms. Some people develop sneezing or drippy nose around smoke, chemical fumes or strong odors.

Question 5

what could cause a wheezing/whistling sound when i breathe?

Accepted Answer

Worth a visit: First, figure out if from upper or lower airways. Upper airways: snoring/obstructive sleep apnea, stridor, septal deviation/perforation, polyp,VCD/laryngospasm, croupy cough, hoarse from larynx issues. Lower: asthma, COPD, heart failure, GERD, foreign body, pneumothorax, pleuritis, pneumonia, to name a few. Go to ER/UC EKG, Echo, CXR, PFT, pulse ox, exam, rhinoscopy. Checked out.

Question 6

what are some things that can cause wheezing only when i inhale/take a deep breath? i've had it for about 2 months and don't have any other symptoms.

Accepted Answer

Airway obstruction: The wheeze is mad when sound of the air flow is being obstructed when going through your airways. This is most common with inflammatory conditions and with mucus production etc.   May be asthma variant, reactive airway disease from allergies, etc.  You should get checked out and properly diagnosed as there are medications which can help to assure the process does not worsen. Good luck to you.

Question 7

what causes blood in my phlegm i am coughing a lot and wheezing when i breathe

Accepted Answer

Hello. : Hello. The blood could be from a number of locations in your respiratory tract (lungs, nose, sinuses etc).  Because of the fact that you are wheezing, it is really important that you get medical attention.  You may not be exchanging air as well.

Question 8

i am unable to breathe properly, i can only take weak and shallow breaths, and i experience wheezing when i try to force a deep breath or breathe through my mouth. its been going on for more than 24 hours now. what could be the cause?

Accepted Answer

Need to be examined: This can be infectious or mechanical. Some with asthma will experience these symptoms as will some with infections that trigger wheezing &amp; pain. This is not something that wil pass without treatment. Go in immediately.

Question 9

can severe asthma cause no wheezing but low peak flow readings and hard to breath, usually for years i have wheezing with attacks but few months after phemonia i now cant breath and no wheezing at times ?

Accepted Answer

Yes: In severe asthma attacks or advanced COPD there is very limited air exchange with no wheezing, but very limited to no breathing sounds. Following pneumonia, a pleural effusion ( or fluid in the lungs) may complicate the picture, as well.

Question 10

i suffer from asthma and currently have very thick mucus in my air ways which causes a wheezing sound when i breathe, please suggest some antibiotic?

Accepted Answer

Asthma treatment: 23 year old male with asthma and wheezing, complaining of thick mucus. Thick mucus could be a sign of an infection which in turn makes asthma symptoms worse and prolonged. Asthma is a disease that requires prescription therapies like albuterol and inhaled corticosteroids. I wouldn't recommend an antibiotic unless you are seen by a doctor. Often, asthma and infection are confused, needs an exam.
