A wheeze is a clinical symptom of a continuous, coarse, whistling sound produced in the respiratory airways during breathing. [1] For wheezes to occur, part of the respiratory tree must be narrowed or obstructed (for example narrowing of the lower respiratory tract in an asthmatic attack), or airflow velocity within the respiratory tree must be heightened.
Trepopnea /tɹɛpəʊpˈniːə/ is dyspnea (shortness of breath) that is sensed while lying on one side but not on the other [1] (lateral recumbent position). It results from disease of one lung, one major bronchus, or chronic congestive heart failure that affects only a side of breathing.
A 1994 study suggested that breathing through alternate nostrils can affect brain hemisphere symmetry on EEG topography. [10] A later study in 2007 showed that this cycle (as well as manipulation through forced nostril breathing on one side) has an effect on endogenous ultradian rhythms of the autonomic and central nervous system.

Oxygen therapy and other breathing treatments may also be used to help the lungs heal. At home, you can help your loved one recover from pneumonia by doing the following:
With emphysema the shortness of breath due to effective bronchoconstriction from excessive very thick mucus blockage (it is so thick that great difficulty is encountered in expelling it resulting in near exhaustion at times) can bring on panic attacks unless the individual expects this and has effectively learned pursed lip breathing to more quickly transfer oxygen to the blood via the damaged ...
It might be expected that people with EIB would present with shortness of breath, and/or an elevated respiratory rate and wheezing, consistent with an asthma attack. However, many will present with decreased stamina, or difficulty in recovering from exertion compared to team members, or paroxysmal coughing from an irritable airway. [ 2 ]
The classic symptoms are shortness of breath, wheezing, and chest tightness. [20] The wheezing is most often when breathing out. [109] While these are the primary symptoms of asthma, [110] some people present primarily with coughing, and in severe cases, air motion may be significantly impaired such that no wheezing is heard. [108]
One more time for the people at the back: You don’t have to stop snacking — even if you’re trying to lose weight or build healthy habits. Snacking isn’t a bad habit you need to break.
