Can asthma flare-ups cause waking up at night?
Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I have body pain in the left back of my body, and I have pain on the backside of my head. Nowadays, I am waking up automatically at midnight, and I have a feeling of having reduced breathing. I am an asthma patient. I am using Budamate 200 inhaler. Is this due to my asthma problem or any other reason?
Kindly guide.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I can understand your concern, and your symptoms could be related to a tension-type headache. You may have a wrong posture. Waking up at midnight can happen due to asthma or a panic attack. For this reason, it is essential to do a pulmonary function test and a cervical spine X-ray study.
I hope this helps.
Feel free to reach out in case of further queries.
Thank you.
