A wheeze 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.

It can also cause shortness of breath, wheezing, a low fever, and chest tightness. There are two main types of bronchitis: acute and chronic. [nlm.nih.gov]
You may need inhaled medicine to open your airways if you are wheezing. You probably do not need antibiotics. [icd9data.com]

Insect Bite
Patient may develop severe allergic reaction as manifested by weakness, dizziness, wheezing, swelling around the eyes and lips called angioedema etc. [news-medical.net]
Anaphylaxis symptoms include throat tightness, trouble breathing, tingling, dizziness, and wheezing. [drugs.com]
Patient is wheezing, breathless, has a rapid pulse rate, rapidly falling blood pressure, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, swelling of the face, neck and lips and confusion, [news-medical.net]
Hypersensitivity
Wheeze or asthma was not associated with regular sports activity. [doi.org]
Symptoms: Some of the symptoms of type1 hypersensitivity are nasal congestion, sneezing, wheezing, rashes, hives and itchy eyes. [symptoma.com]
SUMMARY: About one week after starting prasugrel use following angioplasty and a stent revision procedure, a 61-year-old woman arrived in the emergency department with wheezing [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Viral Lower Respiratory Infection
Up to 50% of children will have at least one viral-induced wheezing illness by school age. [clinicaltrials.gov]
In addition, in the Tucson Children's Respiratory Study, compared with controls, infants who had wheezing LRTIs in their first year had lower respiratory conductances prior [thorax.bmj.com]

Food Allergy
A 40-year-old man experienced generalized pruritus and urticaria, shortness of breath, and wheezing 10 minutes after eating steamed mussels and boiled sea urchin roe. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
In this study, we investigated the value of an in vitro diagnostic device testing 10 common allergens, the ImmunoCAP Rapid Wheeze/Rhinitis Child, for the primary evaluation [dx.doi.org]
Hay Fever
Multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to estimate the cumulative risk for wheezing (early wheezing not diagnosed as asthma), asthma, hay fever, and atopic [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
By 2004 this sex bias in diagnosis was no longer present, RR 1.01 (0.91, 1.12) for wheeze and 1.02 (0.85, 1.21) for those with wheeze and eczema and/or hay fever. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Abstract Surveys of primary schools children in Aberdeen carried out in 1964, 1989, 1994 and 1999 suggested a slowing of the increase in parent-reported wheeze between 1994 [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Upper Respiratory Infection
Video methods developed for the International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood were used to assess wheezing. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
METHODS: This is a case control study of children, age 4-6 years and grouped as: URI, (n 74), URI and wheezing, (URI-wheezing, n 52), and healthy controls (n 51). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
This compares to the 34 million estimated by Stevens et al. 1 as the cost of preschool wheezing. Therefore, the additional cost burden of wheeze seems small. [erj.ersjournals.com]
Asthma
Future studies examining the early origins of asthma and wheezing need to account for the impact of prenatal maternal stress. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
When multiple types of wheezing were analysed, we divided the results into two groups: wheezing (sum of all different types) versus no wheezing. [doi.org]

Allergic Rhinitis
Multinomial regression analyses showed that the association of wheeze with PAR and/or SAR was stronger compared to that of wheeze with SAR without PAR. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The patient had history of wheezing dyspnea with nasal symptoms, which were diagnosed as asthma and allergic rhinitis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The bronchospasm severity was based on the frequency of a sensation of wheezing and chest tightness, the frequency of inhaler use, and the occurrence of any exacerbation of [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
