Living with asthma
Asthma is a treatable health condition and although there is no cure, with good management people with asthma can lead normal, active lives.
The key to living with asthma is keeping it under control. This means learning about what causes your symptoms, how to avoid your triggers and to use your medications correctly.
It is important to see your doctor for regular check-ups so you can work together to monitor and control your asthma. With your doctor, you can also fill in your personal written asthma action plan to help you monitor and manage your asthma.
People who follow their action plans are likely to have better controlled asthma, fewer asthma attacks and fewer days off work or school because of their asthma.
