Yesterday morning I woke up around 4 am after a lovely vivid & adventurous dream. My chest and back muscles were sore, and I was coughing a lot. I am concerned I had an asthma attack during the night, but I have no way to tell for sure. I experience sore chest muscles only occaisionally as a result of daytime attacks. Can the soreness and coughing indicate a nighttime attack? Thanks.

Thanks Helena, I have GERD but didn't realize it could affect my asthma.

if you are having some bad symptoms at night that is causing you to wake up with a sore chest and coughing it could be that you may have acid reflux from stomach into lungs this has been proven in england to be a cause for night time asthma, you might be able to relive some of this by diet change and anti acids morning and night.

Gee I am not sure myself.. That is something that you should notifiy your doctor about.. That sounds serious to me,, If you have a video camera you could record your sleep patterns and see what happens.. but your dr could send you to a sleep center where they could monitor you properly. That is something I would suggest that you look into at once.. Pete
