Is sleeping on your side bad for Asthmatic people?!
Question: I have noticed that sometimes when i wake up, i feel pain in the lung's ribs, like they're cracking. I sleep mostly on my sides, should i sleep on my back? i'm an asthmatic person and other respiratory problems.

i am asthmatic too and have the same problem so it probarbly is related!!
its wierd because when i used to sleep on my back i always needed like 2 pillows or i found it hard to breath...and now i feel it is more easier when i dont have any pillows at all :s
anyway i would go and see your doc or just take ur inhaler before you go to bed
good luck
xoxoxo
I know when I have an attack and am having trouble breathing when I'm trying to sleep. I have to sleep on my back and propped up on pillows. If you have other respiratory problems, that would probably increase the need to give yourself the best possible open airway. To be safe, you should contact your doctor.
