I have been having bronco spasms - an involuntary spasms of the diaphragm- which happen upon exhalation, when doing even slight aerobic exercise.

I had covid in Nov. 2021 and was hospitalized briefly because these spasms would not stop and put me in acute respiratory failure. I’ve learned how to control them with breathing methods but have been unable to stop them from occurring. I have been in pulmonary rehabilitation since April 2022 but am not longer progressing with recovery and this program will end soon. The pulmonologist does not have a solution. Does anyone share this problem or have any suggestions, is there any way of eliminating this spastic response?

Since no meds have helped you and your best outcome has been increased voluntary control of the spasms, I wnder if a form of biofeedback can assist you in this process. There sre EEG brain wave traners and EMG muscle trainers, with one or both possibly helping you gain additional control of autononic body funtions. I used an EEG machine to train subjects to cobtrol their brain waves in my doctoral dissertation. I think there may be some practitioners who have the training and skills to make positive suggestions. The trainin is noninvasive, and if recommended by your pulmonologist could possibly be covered by insurance,
