Unusual: Wheezing resulting from your pressing on your chest is unusual however shortness of breath and wheezing point to a respiratory disorder. See your doctor and request an evaluation with a pulmonologist. The pulmonologist can perform pulmonary function testing to determine if you are suffering from airways disease.
