Hi,
I have a bad cold virus and am struggling to sleep. I am also occasionally asthmatic which is currently causing problems as it has been worsened by the cold virus.
Is there a sleeping tablet which does not affect my asthma? I have seen that 'Nightnurse' & lots of other meds are not suitable for asthmatics so I want to know suitable meds for asthmatics who also have :
(i) cold viruses & flu symptoms
(ii) insomnia (this would be when !not! related to any cold virus)
Any ideas?
It would not be good to take sleeping tablets if asthma is affecting you in your sleep. If you have symptoms while asleep you need to be able to wake and take your reliever. If you don't wake then symptoms might get worse and cause problems.
if Im not attacking my astma can I take a sleeping pills
sleeping pills slow resp rate and produce deep breaths-a ppt risk for asthmatics,,, so its veryy essential and mandatory to use physical and lifestyle keys for sound sleep rather to use medicines..........but still if someone has to be put on sedatives who is asthmatic too,then he may take Ambien-''zolpidem''(low dose) for short time......... saif miami
