A member asked:
When someone has audible wheezing from copd is it always present ? and can they make it stop?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: audible wheezing is not always present in everyone with COPD. This can be a sign of worsening and should use rescue inhalers or nebulizer (albuterol). If worsening despite using inhalers, need to see a physician for further treatment which may also include prednisone.
