📖What is Noisy Breathing?

Noisy breathing describes abnormal sounds during breathing such as wheezing, stridor, or a rattling quality, which indicate some degree of airway narrowing or obstruction. It can occur during inhalation, exhalation, or both, and may be more noticeable during sleep or physical exertion. The sound and timing can help identify whether the obstruction is in the upper or lower airway.
