Nocturnal asthma
Wheezing at night and in the early morning is the most common symptom of asthma patients. Turner-Warwrick's survey of about 8,000 asthma patients showed that 39% of patients had nocturnal asthma attacks every night, 64% of patients had at least 3 nocturnal symptoms per week, and 74% of patients had at least one attack per week. In another study, 3,129 patients had 1,631 asthma attacks, of which 1,525 occurred between 10 pm and 10 am, with a peak at 4 am. This shows that most asthma patients have experienced symptoms such as coughing, wheezing and dyspnea at night, which will affect the quality of life of patients with severe asthma. Its importance also lies in the fact that respiratory arrest caused by asthma often occurs at night. According to statistics, 70% of asthma deaths occur during sleep-related periods. At present, certain progress has been made in the neural mechanisms and inflammatory mechanisms that cause nocturnal asthma, as well as their effects, consequences and treatment.
