Hearing/Feeling stuff in your lungs

Thanks for all the replies everybody.

I have gotten wheezing this year but this is not a wheeze so much. A wheeze for me is like a higher pitched whistle type sound - this is more of a rough/low type sound. That I can hear along with everyone else coming out of my mouth when I open it and breathe. Another reason I do not believe it is wheezing is because albuterol usually helps me with my wheezing - and if I do albuterol to "help" with that feeling/noise it does NOT go away.

It is not a lung bleed - THANK GOD - there is no gurgling and no blood when I have this.

It is similar to how Jfarel and Debbie describe. It IS in a problem area of my lung (my Left lung under my arm especially is a problem). All of my MAJOR problems have occured on the left side and most of my infections originate and are worse/more concentrated on the left. It does feel like a rubbing/shifting feeling. Like the stuff is slowly working its way to a different area. I guess I should have said it is more of a feeling that I get - but the sound of it resonates through my body so I can kind of hear it even though others usually can't (I really hope that makes sense). I will say it is NOT painful - just annoying lol. I just didn't know if I was the only one that experienced that is all. It mainly had me intrigued because it ALWAYS and ONLY happens in the one area.

Happy Turkey Day Guys!

Lindsey,

Do you have someone to do you cpt or do you use a vest...It probably would help to have some focused attention on that lobe. It seems my bad parts are more upper lobes so my wife spends extra time on those areas. Sorry I couldn't have been more help.
