If you are experiencing wheezing and are at high risk for lung cancer, it is important to see your physician, as wheezing is an important symptom of lung cancer. Despite being a lung cancer symptom, wheezing is difficult to distinguish from symptoms of other respiratory diseases. If you or a loved one has recently started wheezing, or shows changes in the pattern of breathing, the possibility of lung cancer should be considered.

85% of lung cancer is found symptomatically, which includes various types of cough, wheezinf and other breathing pattern changes. 

The America Cancer Society says that the early detection of cancer is your best defense. Therefore, finding lung cancer before these symptoms appear can be important in extending the survival rate.
