World Asthma Day | 7th May
Don't let asthma attacks catch you off guard! Take control of your well-being with a two-pronged approach:
1. Follow Your Asthma Action Plan:
- This personalized plan, created with your doctor, outlines steps to manage your asthma daily and during flare-ups.
- By diligently following the plan, you can identify early warning signs, take appropriate medications, and avoid triggers to prevent serious attacks.
2. Use At-Home Lung Tests Regularly:
- These tests, often using a peak flow meter, measure how well air flows out of your lungs.
- Regularly monitoring your peak flow helps you and your doctor track your asthma control and identify any potential problems early on.
