Definition
Sudden constriction of the muscles surrounding the bronchi (airways), causing narrowing of the air passages and difficulty breathing. It's commonly seen in asthma and allergic reactions.
Etymology
From Greek 'bronchos' meaning 'windpipe' and 'spasmos' meaning 'convulsion' or 'sudden contraction.' The term literally describes the involuntary tightening of airway muscles that restricts breathing.
Kelly Says
Bronchospasm is like having your airways suddenly decide to give you a bear hug - the smooth muscles around your breathing tubes contract involuntarily, turning your normally open airways into narrow straws! It's your lungs' way of trying to protect themselves that actually makes breathing much harder.
