A whistling noise in the bronchi.
Abnormal high-pitched sound heard through a stethoscope in an airway blocked by mucus, neoplasm, muscle spasm, or pressure. It occurs in asthma, in chronic bronchitis, and unilaterally in the presence of a foreign body or neoplasm in the airway.
Audible whistling breath sound often associated with asthma or airway constriction.
Low-pitched breathing sounds associated with bronchospasm, such as occurs in asthma and byssinosis.
A continuous musical sound heard predominantly during expiration that is caused by narrowing of the lumen of a respiratory passageway. Often noted only by the use of a stethoscope, it occurs in asthma, croup, hay fever, mitral stenosis, and bronchitis. It may result from asthma, tumors, foreign body airway obstructions, bronchial spasm, pulmonary infections, emphysema and other chronic obstructive lung diseases, or pulmonary edema.
A high-pitched whistling sound produced when air flows rapidly through constricted airways. Wheezing serves as a symptom observed in various respiratory conditions, such as byssinosis and asthma.
A high-pitched, whistling noise generated in the chest, typically occurring during exhalation, resulting from the constriction of the air passages. This phenomenon is a characteristic of lung conditions such as asthma, bronchitis, bronchiolitis, and pulmonary edema (the buildup of fluid in the lungs). Inhalation of a foreign object can also trigger this sound.
