👉 Paroxysm is a medical term that describes an uncontrollable or frequent movement of a person's breathing. It can occur in many different conditions, such as asthma, heart failure, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Paroxysms are often accompanied by other symptoms like coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, chest pain, and sweating. They are often treated with medications to control the symptoms.
