Wheezing is a high-pitched, whistling sound that occurs when the small airways are narrowed by bronchospasm, thickened mucous membranes due to inflammation, edema, excessive secretions, or foreign bodies in the airways. It is heard mainly during expiration due to some degree of airway obstruction. It has a variety of tones when the airways are narrowed to varying degrees, as in asthma.
