You’ve Been Losing Weight

If you’ve been losing a lot of weight, especially if you haven’t changed your dietary habits or if you haven’t taken up any extra exercise routines, your first instinct might be to feel overjoyed. But weight loss like this could be a sign of something seriously wrong happening in your body.

COPD patients that are having breathing difficulties burn a lot more calories since the body is working overtime in order to keep up with basic functions. Not only that but your muscles will be working extra hard, meaning you could burn ten times more calories just to breathe than everyone else!

If you start to notice other respiratory symptoms in addition to your weight loss, talk to a professional and start investigating the causes.

Your Coughing Keeps You up at Night

Here’s another symptom that can be linked to asthma. Sadly, a lot of people ignore it due to the fact that it only occurs at night. If your violent coughing fits are keeping you awake you should start looking into asthma treatments. As we mentioned earlier, this condition may develop late into adulthood, so don’t brush it off even if you’ve never experienced similar symptoms before.

Of course, coughing at night can be due to plenty of other things such as allergies, infections, post-nasal drip, and GERD. Either way, talk to your doctor to get to the bottom of it.
