A member asked:

After exercise is wheezing on the left side that resolves to bases in one hour mean asthma?

Dr. John Chiu answered

Unusual: Unilateral wheezing may indicate some anatomic obstruction at that side since asthma usually involves both sides of the lung. You need to consult your doctor who may order a CT chest scan especially you are or had been a smoker.
