Having asthma doesn't mean you have to live with frequent asthma symptoms. Learn about your asthma and discuss it with your healthcare professional. Both play an important role in asthma. Helping to control them can reduce the frequency of asthma symptoms, reduce the need for fast-acting inhalers, improve lung function, and reduce the frequency and severity of asthma attacks.
Triggers are irritants in the environment that can provoke an asthma attack.
Know what your triggers are and learn how to avoid them when you can. Treating constriction and inflammation can reduce asthma symptoms and help prevent asthma attacks. Along with your healthcare professional, you'll develop a plan that will help you manage your asthma effectively. An Asthma Action Plan provides specific instructions on how to treat your asthma based on the daily monitoring of your asthma symptoms and peak flow readings. Remember, your asthma does not go away just because your symptoms do.
