This i have been thinking as well. I'm glad someone started a thread about this as i hadn't thought about the crushing of their throat, but has always believe it was due to hormonal issues. There's a fat in an office i used to work in, and he has a voice so sqeaky people seriously believe it's his wife that picks up his phone (as if he'd ever find a woman). The theory about the crushing of ones throat via pure fattening sort of explains the wheezing as well. Shout out to op for the observation!
