What Causes Shortness Of Breath With A Whistling Sound While Breathing?

I had two hip replacements in 2016, where a tube was inserted down my throat both times to enable breathing. Then, I had bronchitis in late 2017. Now I have shortness of breath when I walk more than 1,000 feet and in the evening and morning (especially) I have a whisteling sound - only when I exhale. From this information, can you help? Becky

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

While exhaling, you have whistling sound and shortness of breath, so please undergo chest x-ray PA view and spirometry.

Avoid smoking and polluted air. Do deep breathing exercises. Also, undergo ECG and BP monitoring.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Varinder Joshi
