Bronchial Hyperresponsiveness

Bronchial hyperresponsiveness is a condition where the airways in the lungs become overly sensitive to various triggers, such as allergens, exercise, or irritants like smoke. When exposed to these triggers, the airways constrict more than normal, leading to symptoms like wheezing, shortness of breath, or coughing. This response is often associated with asthma and other respiratory conditions. It means that the lungs react strongly to stimuli that might not affect others, making it important for individuals with this condition to manage their exposure to these triggers for better breathing health.
