Wheezing
Some experience wheezing with orthopnea. Wheezing is commonly accompanied by a rattling sound during exhalation. Sometimes wheezing may only be heard when a health care professional listens to the chest using a stethoscope, but in more acute cases, the sound may be loud and enduring.3‘Wheezing.’ Cleveland Clinic, 24 Sep. 2020, https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/symptoms/15203
People may manage wheezing by performing breathing exercises, such as taking slow, deep breaths. Breathing typically returns to normal after the person is able to catch their breath properly.
