Nocturnal Asthma

by marco74, Oct 23, 2008 05:24AM
At night, I also feel only during my sleep (or any daytime naps) when I wakeup , a chest tightness. I estimate 5-10% lost breathing capacity in taking my full breath. I have no clue what it is caused by!!!! My peak flow is also fine, don`t react to metacholine...

I have pollen, dust mites allergies but have not even had a single nose drip this summer! It started on August 1st. I had even 2 bronchitis and even taking prednisone and avelox did not take my nocturnal asthma away. Even sleeping at other houses did not change it!!!

I don`t have stomach problem nor vocal cord problems.

what can it be?? I did have a lot of post nasal drip this summer but due to what? my tonsils? If it`s ragweed pollen then how come my nose did not drip or my eyes itch?  I had much worse summers than this one. My back pain caused me to not sleep well since 2 years...now getting better (I had a boy and was carrying him a lot but no more). I do not snore.
