Is bronchospasms asthma? can you have bronchospasms without having asthma?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Certainly: The mechanism that produces bronchospasm is present in anyone. Consider it a method of closing off the small airways/alveoli to invasion by noxious agents. Infections can sometimes do it .A room filled with chlorine gas will do it to anyone. The difference in normal is they easily reopen that mechanism when the stimulus is gone. Asthma patients have a poor re-open response.
