What Is The Cause And Treatment For Wheezing?
My husband has wheezing problem. Every time he need to take his puff in order to stop that wheezing. His eating habit is more to spicy food and he do drink beer which i think it might be another issue. Couple of months back, he claim he had a chest pain and admitted himself at hospital , after few scans and test done, doctor inform there s nothing to be worried. but I felt bad seeing him suffering from this wheezing problem.

Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion you should consult pulmonologist and get done
1 chest x ray
2 pulmonary function test (PFT)
These tests are needed for the diagnosis of wheezing in your husband.
Asthma seems more in his case.
He is also having reflux disease as he is having heart burn and he eats spicy food and drinks beer. Reflux disease can worsen asthma. So both are related to each other. You need to treat both simultaneously.
So better to consult pulmonologist and discuss all these.
