Common Asthma Medication May Raise Sleep Apnoea Risk, Study Says
It has been discovered that asthma medication increases the risk for serious sleep problems. Sleep apnoea is characterized by periodical stops in breathing during sleep. The cause is blockage or collapse of the airways. It has been noted that breathing may stop for up to thirty times per hour.
The study indicates that asthma medication caused an increase in the risk of apnoea. Even though the link was established, the cause and effects of the association between corticosteroids and asthma needs to be investigated further. The corticosteroids studied are fluticasone (flonase), pulmicort, and budesonide. A larger study is required to further investigate the link.
