Asthma and your body clock

Could your body clock affect what asthma symptoms you get, when and how often? This is a fascinating area of research that Asthma UK has provided funding for.

Dr Hannah Durrington, a respiratory consultant and lecturer at the University of Manchester, has looked at how and why our body clock – the mechanisms that schedule our bodily functions like sleeping and eating – can impact the symptoms of people with asthma. It could help give important insights into things like the best time of the day to take asthma medications.

You can find out more about her work in our latest blog.

This is interesting - especially as it seems to apply across multiple asthma types. Thanks for sharing Claire!

Anecdotally, I can usually guess the time to within half an hour or so if I wake up with asthma.
