1. Wheezing
A high-pitched whistling sound when breathing, especially when exhaling.
This occurs due to narrowed airways caused by inflammation.

Difficulty breathing, especially during physical activity or at night.
Feeling out of breath due to restricted airflow in the inflamed airways.
3. Coughing

The cough may be dry or produce mucus.
Coughing is a response to the irritation caused by the inflamed bronchial tubes.
4. Chest Tightness
A feeling of pressure or tightness in the chest, which can feel like a weight is pressing down.
This sensation is caused by the constriction of the muscles around the airways.
