what would make sharp lung spasms on a nice day to a non smoker, low blood pressure and normally well 63 year old woman on no medications? It felt as though I d taken a huge gulp of liquid and had an air bubble but lasted for at least 10 minutes. Thank you
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. There are many causes of lung spasm. Actually it is protective reflex to prevent further entry of causative substance. So causes of lung spasm are1. Infection like bacterial and viral.2. Inflammation due to any injury.3. Allergens like dust, pollen, fumes etc.4. Sudden change in temperature like in freezing.5. In your case water may be regurgitated in the lung and this may cause spasm. So cause for spasm are many.
