A member asked:

Went to dr for lung pain. he said "lungs sound clear but tight" what does that mean?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Words: Bronchospasm is a term that describes when the circular muscles in your airways activate and produce a restriction in air flow. If it involves the tiny airway entering the balloon like lung tissue where oxygen enters your blood, you may wheeze. Tightness usually implies a reduction of airflow without hearing wheezing. It does not imply a cause.
