Nocturnal asthma

Nocturnal and early morning wheezing is the most common symptom in people with asthma. Turner-Warwrick's survey of a population of approximately 8,000 asthma patients showed that 39% of patients had symptoms of night-time asthma attacks, 64% of patients had symptoms of night-time symptoms at least 3 times a week, and 74% of patients had at least once a week. In another study, 3,129 patients experienced 1,531 asthma attacks, of which 1,525 occurred between 10 am and 10 am, and peaked at 4 am. It can be seen that most patients with asthma have experienced symptoms such as night cough, wheezing and dyspnea, and even severe asthma patients will affect their quality of life. Its importance is also that asthma-induced respiratory arrests occur at night. According to statistics, 70% of asthma deaths occur during sleep-related periods. At present, some progress has been made on the neural mechanisms, inflammatory mechanisms and their effects, consequences and treatments that cause nocturnal asthma.
