Hi...if you are very lean...it could be a muscle twitching condition called myokymia common in lean people. But otherwise it could as as well be wheeze & your dr is probably right. Wheezing at this age is a pointer towards asthma... But you need not worry as it could be a milder variant. There are 4 grades in asthma. Speak to your dr regarding this & be tension free. Happy to help anytime. If you are happy with my answer.... Kindly rate it.
