Espasmo súbito da traqueia com ruido inpiratório

English translation: a sudden tracheal spasm with inspiratory stridor

Portuguese term or phrase: Espasmo súbito da traqueia com ruido inpiratório
Context:

"Ardência, com dores torácicas médio esternais que fazem supor espasmo súbito da traqueia com ruido inpiratório na crise que é precipitada"
Joao Andre Madeira

English translation:a sudden tracheal spasm with inspiratory stridor
Explanation:
I am assuming that "inpiratório" should be "inspiratório"

While laryngeal spasm is by far a more popular condition, with the limited context here it is impossible to know if in fact this is what they are talking about which is why I am using tracheal spasm.

Stridor is an inspiratory musical wheeze heard loudest over the trachea during inspiration. Stridor suggests an obstructed trachea or larynx and therefore constitutes a medical emergency that requires immediate attention.
