 [ Symptoms ] i took 4 tablets of ibuprofen every single day for about 4 years could my wheezing when sleeping be a side effect  i was diagnosed with a bad hip 4 years ago doctors said i could take ibuprofen to ease the pain but 2 years ago i started to have wheezing at night when i am sleeping and it became bothersome so i went to a chest specialist two months ago and he gave me dulera and theophylline and i have been taking them as prescribed but they are not really helping what should i do now it seems that doctors try to treat the problem without looking or even considering the causes of the problem [ Disease ] see a pulmonary lung specialist or allergist i have never seen ibuprofen cause nighttime wheezing like you have described although it is possible i think it would be unlikey as the sole cause
