Preparing questions in advance can help patients to have more meaningful discussions with their physicians regarding their conditions. Patients may wish to ask their doctor the following questions regarding nocturnal asthma:

1. Does the timing of my symptoms indicate nocturnal asthma?
   
   
2. What may be causing my symptoms to strike at night?
   
   
3. Is my nocturnal asthma an indication that my asthma medication is not working?
   
   
4. Do I have a medical condition that may be contributing to my nocturnal asthma?
   
   
5. Will you be performing any tests to determine if I have nocturnal asthma?
   
   
6. What are my treatment options?
   
   
7. Would I benefit from changing medications?
   
   
8. How can I prevent asthma attacks from occurring at night?
   
   
9. I have read that the hormone melatonin may contribute to nocturnal asthma. Should I avoid melatonin-containing products?
