Wheezing
I have had wheezing that can be heard across the room while I am propped up reading but it is never heard by any doctor. Also some rattling never heard by doctor. Is there something about lying down that sets off the wheezing and rattling?
Thank you for sharing your experience here with us. And for your question -- it is a good one. Generally, audible wheezing is a sign of phlegm (secretions) sitting on your vocal cords. It's possible that this may subside when you are lying down. Are you also short of breath when you hear this wheezing? Also, it really should not matter whether a doctor hears wheezing or not. A good doctor should easily be able to treat asthma regardless of what symptoms you are experiencing in the office. Does your doctor not believe you when you say you have this wheeze?
