I've Started Wheezing
Discussion
Where possible I will self diagnose and try and deal with any health issues before engaging my GP.
I've started wheezing; a lot.
It started several weeks ago when I noticed a slight rattling in my chest. Thought not much of it, but perhaps a bit bronchial? Thought, like most ailments, it would pass. It didn't. It progressively got worse. Now I can feel my voice is a bit different and I can feel it pulling on my chest a bit. The wheezing is there on exhaling, but more so at night; it's almost like clockwork: 4am/4.30 my chest/throat is whistling even after I've exhaled.
I do not smoke (haven't done for over a decade) and I don't work in a dusty environment. A mate suggested it's the '100 day cough' which someone else called the three-month cold.
Could it be it COVID related (haven't done a test) or a chest infection? Breathing is okay, and I'm not getting short of breath as such, but I can feel I'm not at full pelt.
Trying to cough the lung butter out but, in the words of Blain Cooper, it's, 'dug in like an Alabama tic'.

I had almost identical symptoms and similar smoking history (gave up 8 years ago). I would strongly recommend a GP visit. In my case it turned out to be COPD.I've started wheezing; a lot.
