Crackling sounds while breathing are suggestive of some conditions in the lower respiratory tract (lungs, bronchi and trachea). Crackling sound while breathing that is audible to naked ears (i.e. Without a stethoscope) warrants proper evaluation and treatment because of high risk of having a serious underlying disease condition. The affected person may also experience a sensation of chest rattle while exhaling. Depending upon the cause, the crackling sound may occur in isolation or it might be associated with the other respiratory symptoms.Causes of Crackling Sound While BreathingSome of the most common causes of crackling sound are bronchitis, asthma, pulmonary edema, pneumonia and foreign body in bronchus. Bronchitis: Inflammation of the lining of bronchi (the air-carrying passages from the trachea to the lungs) may be acute (new onset bronchitis) or chronic (repeated and long lasting bronchitis). Acute bronchitis might have crackling sounds while breathing even after resolution of the other symptoms of bronchitis.
Asthma: Narrowing of the air-carrying passages of the lungs results in shortness of breath, coughing and feeling of chest tightness. Pneumonia: It is inflammation of the lungs caused by an infection bacteria (commonly), virus or fungi. Presentation and severity are variable.
Often, other symptoms of pneumonia like fever, cough, chills, shortness of breath, etc. Are also present. Crackling sound while breathing might be the only symptom in some people having a less severe form of pneumonia called 'walking pneumonia'. Pulmonary Edema: Collection of watery fluid in the lungs is referred to as pulmonary edema. Congestive heart failure is one of the most important causes of pulmonary edema. Shortness of breath (which worsens in lying down position) is usually present.
Foreign Body in Bronchus: Partial blocking of a bronchus can result in chest rattle on exhale. Crackling sounds while breathing might also be there if distal lungs start collapsing (atelectasis).Treatment of Crackling Sound While BreathingTreatment would depend upon the disease condition causing this symptom. Infectious diseases like pneumonia and bronchitis require a course of antibiotics for complete resolution of symptoms. Asthma requires treatment with bronchodilators (as inhalers).
Severe asthma may require treatment with other drugs like corticosteroids. Pulmonary edema often occurs secondary to some other conditions like heart failure, and treatment is focused on the primary condition resulting in pulmonary edema. Foreign body in bronchus requires removal by bronchoscopy. In rare cases, surgery may be needed if bronchoscopy can't remove the blockage.
I am 28-year old female and have been suffering for over a year now.I have been to several :( :( doctors and they cannot find what is wrong with me.I have a sensation like something popping in my throat when i breath in.Also have a feeling of something lodged in my throat.Sometimes I have a very hard time breathing because of it.Anyone have any idea of what may be happening? I am really frustrated at this point and now doctors think it is all in my head.But i know what I am feeling.Woul someone please help?
My user name is Never Coming Back, because I am never coming back to this site. I was looking for something else when I found it. But before leaving I thought I knew the answer to your question and thought I would post the info that I know. Of course I can't say for sure this is what you have but I believe it is something called STRICTURE.
It is a narrowing of the esophagus due to years of acid reflux. Even if you THINK you've never had a problem with acid reflux, it can rise into the lower part of your esophagus, especially while you sleep, and not bother you enough to wake you up. Over time this acid SCARS the esophageal tissue. The scar tissue is what is causing the narrowing of the esophagus. The main symptoms that will lead a gastroenteritis to check this out are difficulty swallowing (food or otherwise), heart burn (especially persistent heartburn).
Depending on the location of the scar tissue it can sometimes cause breathing symptoms such as those you described. My son had acid reflux when he was a baby. After being told consistently by his pediatrician that it was just a phase he was going through and it would pass, I finally took him to Scottish Rite without a referral.
The put a tube down his nose (based on his symptoms) that led into his esophagus. It was to remain in place for 48 hrs. There was a recording device attached to the tube that recorded the acid and PH levels in his esophagus over the period of 2 days. They confirmed he had a weak sphincter (the muscle that closes off your stomach from your esophagus) and therefore had severe acid reflux.
They gave him meds for the reflux to take until his 2nd birthday because at that age, the sphincter will most likely tighten on it's own by age 2. In a grown up, it could require surgery. After the sphincter had tightened they wanted to have a look into his esophagus to check for stricture. They explained that with prolonged or sever reflux scar tissue can form and narrow his esophagus.
I declined to have this procedure done and thought it better to wait and see if he had any esophageal symptoms which he did not, thankfully, but I did get quite an education in the esophagus during those 2 years. I would be curious if the first contributor ever found out what the problem was. I can tell you that my bubbles are due to no acid reflux or esophageal stricture as others said here.
Mine developed after an upper respiratory infection and come mostly after I lie down - within a few seconds. It is as if some thin liquid (with low surface tension) was building up in my trachea or larynx (voicebox), creating true bubble-like surfaces there (kind of like champagne bottle neck bubbles after you leave it standing open). The bubbles pop with ease as I breathe in and out. While stricture is/was an interesting theory, I wouldn't exclude other possibilities. Breathing difficulties in conjunction with swallowing difficulties can be caused by but not limited to the following: fungal infections( candidiasis ), spore infections, structural damage ( either congenial or caused by recent neck trauma, enlarged thyroid, thyroid tumor, any other tumor of the neck, enlarged papillanomas, tongue cancer, etc. To rule out/ diagnose these problems I would suggest throat swab, endoscopy, ultrasound of the thyroid, lung biopsy, chest X-ray, and if needed CAT scan of the neck and lungs.
Baby Crackling Breathing
As for anyone with bubbling sounds when they breathe I would recommend a chest X-ray, CAT scan, and biopsy of lung tissue; as this sound usually ( but not always) means an excessively high lung infection caused by fungal and mold spores. So my advice to the Guest who posted subject ' bubbles in throat' is that they still have a lung infection or they are coming into continual contact with mold or fungus. I've been having bad allergy problems. Then my throat got itchy and I couldn't stop coughing. I didn't realize how shallow I was breathing until I went into the doctor and he had prescribed an inhaler. He also prescribed Asthma medicine (singulair), a nose spray, and over the counter I drops. The popping noise I hear didn't start until after I started taking the medicine.
I can feel it in the back of my throat and in my chest. Sometimes if I intentionally breathe hard I can feel the bubbles are bigger. So at the moment I'm tending to believe that it has something to do with my allergies, but I wouldn't discount that allergies could be causing a vocal cord dysfunction. I knew before I went to the doctor that I had croup, because I sounded like a bark when I coughed. This means that my throat was swollen up, probably from some type of allergic reaction.
The wild fires really have a nasty effect on me. Hope this helps someone.
