Wheeze
A
wheeze (formally called "sibilant rhonchi" in medical terminology) is a continuous, coarse, whistling sound produced in the respiratory
airways during breathing. For wheezes to occur, some part of the respiratory tree must be narrowed or obstructed, or airflow velocity within the respiratory tree must be heightened. Wheezing is commonly experienced by persons with a
lung disease; the most common cause of recurrent wheezing is
asthma attacks, though it can also be a symptom of
lung cancer.
