bronchospasms
Sudden breathing tube tightness
Bronchospasms is the plural of bronchospasm, a sudden constriction of the muscles in the walls of the bronchial tubes.
This tightening narrows the airways, making breathing difficult—the characteristic wheeze and tightness of asthma attacks.
Bronchospasms can be triggered by allergens, exercise, cold air, or respiratory infections: The doctor prescribed an inhaler to prevent bronchospasms.
