Asthma Management Plan

The 6-Part Asthma Management Plan

A coordinated plan is vital for successfully managing your condition.

 
If you have any asthma symptoms, don't ignore them or try to treat them yourself! Get a definitive diagnosis from your health care provider. Here are some tips for breathing easy:

Learn about asthma and stay up-to-date on new developments in treatment

Take any medications your doctor prescribes. Don't make any changes to your medication routine until you check with your doctor.

Don't use over-the-counter medications unless your doctor recommends them.

Use a peak flow meter to check your lungs every day. You often can detect changes in your lungs with a flow meter before you actually feel your symptoms increasing.

Visit your doctor regularly for lung tests. These tests are painless and provide valuable data that can help your physician make adjustments to your medications.

Create an asthma management plan with your health care provider. A plan helps you take the appropriate action if your asthma symptoms worsen.
