Figure: A terrifying sense of suffocation and an inability to speak accompany episodes of laryngospasm
Various causes can cause laryngospasm: asthma, allergic reactions, calcium deficiency in the blood, inhalation of irritants, gastroesophageal reflux disease, pharyngolaryngeal reflux, general anesthesia, etc.
Although laryngospasm is usually a short-lived episode (less than 60 seconds for shortness of breath, a minute or two for normal breathing to resume), the patient experiences a moment of intense fear.
Treatment of laryngospasm depends on the triggering causes (causal therapy).
