Wheezing sound when exhaling

2025-08-23 04:00:20
Hi, I'm 45 years old, suffer from frequent cold and running nose/sneezing and Im taking Levocetrizine/Monticope tablet weekly once or twice when cold is too much. This is what I have been doing for the last 20 years. Currently I noticed there is a wheezing sound when I deep exhale. More during early morning, after brushing, sneezing or nose cleaning feels better. I get mucus a lot.  Why is this wheezing sound? Is it any serious concern? Any home treatment which I can follow and get relief? Please reply in detail

Thank you for sharing your symptoms in detail. Based on what you’ve described long-standing nasal allergy symptoms (cold, sneezing, nasal blockage, mucus) and now a wheeze on exhalation a few important points to consider: Possible Causes (based on limited available history) Allergic Rhinitis with Lower Airway Involvement: Long-standing nasal allergy can sometimes be associated with asthma or “allergic airway disease,” which explains the wheeze. Asthma/Reactive Airways: Wheezing, especially early in the morning or after exposure to triggers (dust, brushing, cleaning), can be a sign of bronchial asthma. Mucus Production: Excess nasal secretions may drip back (post-nasal drip), worsening throat irritation and wheeze. Is it Serious? Wheezing should not be ignored, as it usually indicates narrowing of airways. While it may not be immediately dangerous, untreated asthma or uncontrolled allergy can progress and affect your lung health over time. Early diagnosis and treatment prevent complications.
Next Steps
What You Can Do at Home Avoid Triggers: Dust, strong odors, smoke, and sudden weather changes often worsen allergy and wheeze. Steam Inhalation: Regular steam inhalation helps clear mucus and gives temporary relief. Nasal Hygiene: Saline nasal sprays/washes can reduce nasal blockage and sneezing. Breathing Practices: Gentle breathing exercises (like pursed-lip breathing) may ease wheezing.

Your symptoms point towards allergic airway disease progressing towards asthma. The wheezing sound is due to airway narrowing, which needs proper evaluation. Antihistamines may give temporary relief, but long-term control comes from treating the underlying airway allergy.
Next Steps
Since your problem has been ongoing for years, I strongly recommend a spirometry test and starting the right inhaler treatment if needed. With proper care, your symptoms can be completely controlled. Kindly connect for detailed guidance and a personalized plan.
Health Tips
The most important step is allergen avoidance: Clean your bedroom and dust surfaces every 3 days Wash/remove bedsheets and pillow covers at least every 3 days Keep windows closed during high pollen/dust hours Avoid strong odors, smoke, and cold exposure
