About Wheezing

Wheezing is not a medical procedure but a symptom characterized by a high-pitched whistling sound during breathing, typically heard during exhalation. An Internal Medicine specialist evaluates wheezing through a comprehensive diagnostic process to identify its underlying cause. This involves a detailed medical history, physical examination focusing on the respiratory system, and diagnostic tests like spirometry, chest X-rays, or allergy testing. The goal is to diagnose conditions such as asthma, COPD, bronchitis, or allergic reactions. Management is tailored to the root cause and may include medications like bronchodilators or corticosteroids, lifestyle modifications, and patient education on trigger avoidance and proper inhaler technique.
