    Wheezing is an adventitious breath sound caused by constriction of the airway, not by gas passing through the fluid and mucus on the membranes. Wheezing is a high pitched whistling sound. The adventitous breath sound caused by air bubbles popping is called rales. It sounds like crisped rice cereal being crushed, can be coarse(larger bubbles) or fine(smaller bubles).

    Well explained video. Im hear to understand my condition more. I experienced an ahstma attack last week and was hospitalized for a week! i was given nebalizers and oxygen tube. I didn't realise how bad my condition was needless to say I get an average of 3-4 chest infection maybe more a year which lead into attacks since then ive been deep into learning more about my condition. I no longer get regular colds they go straight into a chest infection and everything goes downhill from there

    Just one note I would like to add, the reason that it is easier to breathe in than out is not because of the active/passive vacuum reason mentioned in this video.
    It is true that you don't use muscles to breathe out, but it is not physically passive, the elasticity of the lungs and chest are what drive the air out.
    The reason why it is harder to breath out is because when you breathe in there is negative pressure in the lungs, this helps to pull open the airway, and when you breathe out the positive pressure formed by the aforementioned elasticity actually further closes the airways in question.
    Hope that helped a bit.

    My asthma gets triggered by all of those things along with exercise and sometimes just for no reason. I take seretide and ventolin

      I had asthma and had to use a spray several times a day and then I pressed my lips together which automatically relaxed my lung airways by reflex. After some time airway remodeling was cured.
      See "Pressure points for asthma" on Internet.

    i am 13 years old and a couple of months ago we were in PE playing dodgeball and everyone ganged up on me after the game finished and continued throwing them at me so I began getting stressed and eventually started having an asthma attack (I did not have an inhaler).soon after my friend (who was also an asthmatic) realized what was happening and ran to get her inhaler. my other friends ran and told the teacher and I stepped outside. a minute later class ended and people were coming out and started laughing at me having an asthma attack. it just goes to show that people in our generation are dicks

      Daniel you shouldn't care about them, they're just being mean, I also have asthma since I was a kid and I didn't care about what other's where saying and today my asthma is stable because I stay away from "STRESS" that others put on me or on my condition.

    Like in the old tooth-worm notion lasting millenia that tooth caries was due to a worm the present asthma theory about treating asthma with medication is wrong and we have the asthma-paradox that more medication causes more asthma.
    In other cultures mudras such as pressing a finger against the thumb (chin mudra) are used to treat asthma by relaxing our lung airways.
    Christian prayer with interlaced fingers is the ambuja mudra.
