cindi o'h Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 Hi Nancy. I don't have an answer for you...only a comment. I have all kinds of noises coming from my lungs on different days and weeks. When I go in to the doctor, invariably the noise that drives me nuts won't be doing it while I am there. My lungs will whistle, rattle, wheeze, chortle, and guffaw! The noises that come out of there are strange. I am glad that no one is near me and has to listen to it. Hope it is a passing thing, like my noises seem to be.

Cindy RN Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 Is he on any inhalers?? When I get that wheezy sounds I use them for a few days and it seems to help-Just a thought. The one I use that seems to work the best is advair. Cindy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvmydog2 Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 only a comment. I have all kinds of noises coming from my lungs on different days and weeks.

The noises that come out of there are strange. I have this same problem. At times mine sounds like I am the "Kellog Rice Krispy" man. Mine goes ...Snap...Crackel...Pop. I too can never get it to happen when seeing the doctor. It mostly happens at night while laying down. Is that when your's is Cindi? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cindi o'h Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 yes, Bruce...mostly at night. I am aware of noises during the day as well, but they seem to get worse when I lie down. Last night I dreamed about my sister from hell..the pretty one. In my dream she was making this awful repetitive noise and would not stop. When I woke up, I realized it was my lung that was responsible for my anger toward her! Yes..noiser and more personality at bedtime. Sometimes so noisy that it makes falling asleep difficult. Like I say, good thing there is not a partner who has to listen to it. I can barely stand it myself! Cindi o'h Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
