Can allergies lead to wheezing?

Yes: Allergies are certainly a possible trigger for asthma symptoms and wheezing.

Indeed: A common cause for wheezing in the chest is allergy to airborne triggers. Starting with symptoms in the eyes and nose, allergies can lead to chest tightness and coughing as allergic inflammation produces mucus and constriction of airway smooth muscles. Once the tubes become so constricted they vibrate, wheezing can be heard, often first on breathing out, then breathing in AND out.
