A member asked:
Why is breathing in during inspiration not affected by bronchoconstriction (asthma/copd)? i need some advice.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bronchoconstriction: Lung disease is defined as either restricted or obstructed. Bronchoconstriction is, by definition, an obstructed condition. Obstructed diseases limit the ability to exhale air out of the lungs. Asthma and COPD are examples of diseases that lead to airway obstruction, where exhalation is affected, not inhalation.
