Nocturnal: Shortness of breath during the night is seen in some cases of asthma as a reaction to changes in temperature or barometric pressure. There may be associated dry cough or wheezing,also. I'm not sure how sexual activity relates.unless there is an allergic reaction to latex, perfume or reaction to the exertion. An inhaler used to treat asthma may relieve or prevent your respiratory symptoms, ? Doc
