I'm wondering if anyone here has any information on nocturnal asthma, or has
ever been mistakenly diagnosed with sleep apnea because of it.

I had a strong burst of allergies after a bout with mono in 1997, and since
then, I have a morbidly low tolerance for any airborne allergen - just hugging
someone who owns a dog will precipitate numerous "microarousals" during sleep
which completely destroys stage 3/4 rest. A sleep study resulted in a diagnosis
of mild sleep apnea, but I'm more convinced that my respiratory problems are
related to the asthma action. I do not get a snuffy nose or cough.

What medications might prove best for this kind of situation? I've tried bursts
of Prednisone, but that seems to have lost its effect. (I also wasn't aware the
effectiveness of the med was dependent on the time of day taken.) I've heard of
Serevent and Theo-Dur has being the first line of defense for NA. Has Theo-Dur
been discontinued?

Attemping to do my own research here since allergist and sleep doc have no idea
what to do with me. Singulair, Accolate, several nasal sprays, Advair,
Pulmicort, etc. do not help. Thanks.
