Symptom #6: Wheezing
A wheeze is a continuous and coarse whistling sound produced by the narrowing or obstruction of the airways during breathing. Wheezing is commonly seen among patients with lung diseases such as asthma, lung cancer, heart failure, COPD, and more.
In patients with COPD, specifically, wheezing can be due to the excessive mucus that obstructs the airways.
