Many people experience asthma symptoms intensifying at night, disrupting sleep and daily life. As a respiratory specialist with years of experience helping patients manage asthma, I've seen how this common issue affects quality of life.
Nighttime asthma flares often occur because airways naturally narrow during sleep, increasing sensitivity and triggering coughs. Dust mites and other allergens in your bedroom can exacerbate this, while cold winter air or lying flat worsens symptoms for some. Elevating your head with an extra pillow or by raising the bed head can provide relief by improving airflow.
If you suspect asthma, consult your doctor promptly for proper diagnosis and tailored treatment.
