Wheezing is usually the result of one of the following health problems: 1  Asthma. 2  Allergic reactions to pollen, chemicals, pet dander, dust, foods, or insect stings. 3  Acute or chronic bronchitis and COPD, which can produce excess mucus in the respiratory tract and cause the lungs' passageways to become blocked.
The whistling sound that characterizes wheezing occurs when air moves through airways that are narrowed, much like the way a whistle or flute makes music. In asthma, this airway narrowing is due to inflammation, mucus, and muscle spasms in the wall of the airways.
