Bronchospasm is acute narrowing of the airways of lungs, which gives rise to wheezing and shortness of breath. Commonly seen in obstructive lung disease, but a rare finding in patients with hypocalcemia. This is a case that outlines a rare presentation of hypocalcemia induced bronchospasm in a patient with no known history of asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In this report, we present a case of a 57 years old male with no history of asthma or COPD who presented with intractable bronchospasm. Initial work-up for common entities was negative. Patient was found to be profoundly hypocalcemic and treatment provided resolution of symptoms. Early recognition of hypocalcemia induced bronchospasm is important in clinical practice to optimize management and provide improvement in symptoms.
