How can you tell the difference between asthma and mitral repair annuloplasty ring 2 yrs on causing wheezing on exhaling air at night when lying down?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Check with your doc: You need a physical exam (might help sort out asthma vs pulmonary edema) and an echocardiogram, if you have not had a recent one. This is not something you can determine on your own.
