A member asked:
What is air trapping? is it always related to asthma/copd, or can it be harmless/anxiety related?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Air trapping.: Air trapping is found in people with COPD wherein they chronically breathe in more air than they release, expanding the lungs and making breathing inefficient. Air swallowing happens with anxiety.
