Some quick tips that may help with wheezing!

• Keep up with airway clearance: Techniques like huff cough, PEP devices, vest therapy, or breathing exercises help move mucus out of the lungs. Less mucus often means less wheezing.

• Use bronchodilators as prescribed: Medications such as albuterol or levalbuterol, taken by inhaler or nebulizer, can help open narrowed airways and ease wheezing. Always follow your provider’s instructions.

• Avoid inhaled irritants and triggers: It is not just smoke. Strong odors, dust, cold air, harsh cleaning products, and other things that you notice make your breathing worse can all trigger wheezing. Try to limit or avoid these when possible.

• Rest and pace your activities: Overexertion can make wheezing worse. Take breaks, spread tasks out, and allow yourself rest days when needed.
