General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

Basal Spasms, in general, are referred to as the deficient basal endothelial release of Nitrogen oxide and thus causing coronary artery spasm in the heart. But in your case, it seems they are referring to vasospasm in basal ganglia (which regulates our breathing too).

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Ashish Ranjan, General & Family Physician
