A member asked:

What are vaso spasms?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Vasospasms: Constraction or narrowing of the smooth muscles of the arteries. Vasospasms can cause local lack of blood flow to the involved areas. If coronary arteries are involved, you could get cardiac chest pain or angina (prinzmetal angina).
