It is only expiration that is interfered with, as with each inspiratory effort the gland is sucked in towards the mediastinum and so frees the air-passages, while with expiration it rises again, and, becoming jammed in the upper opening of the thorax, exerts pressure on the trachea, and during expiration a soft swelling is sometimes recognisable in the episternal notch.
