Spasms occur in muscles surrounding the minute airways in the lungs (Bronchi). They constrict the outward passage of any outgoing air. This is quite often the result of an allergic response brought about by an over production of histamine during an allergic reaction. Low magnesium uptake is currently being associated with this condition.

LIFESTYLE ATTENTION
