A member asked:
If you have asthma, copd, bronchospasm can benzos aggravate the condition?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, but don't help: Benzos won't exacerbate the underlying medical condition, but because they tend to cause suppression of the respiratory center in the brain, they can make it harder for your body to respond optimally to it's internal compensatory mechanisms as well as to to medications.
