What is brochospasm mean?

Bronchospasm refers to the tightening or constriction of the muscles surrounding the airways in the lungs, leading to narrowed air passages and difficulty breathing. It is often associated with conditions like Asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), or allergic reactions. Symptoms may include wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath. Treatment typically involves bronchodilator medications to relax the airway muscles and improve airflow.
