Brief Explanations
In cases of severe airway obstruction, the airway is significantly blocked. Audible coughing, heavy breathing, and wheezing can occur in less severe airway issues or other respiratory problems. However, when there is a severe airway obstruction, the person is unable to speak because air cannot pass through the vocal cords properly to produce sound.
