An Asthma Action Plan is like an instruction manual for your asthma written by your doctor. Everyone with asthma should have an Asthma Action Plan, no matter how old you are or how mild your asthma might feel. It’s your guide on how to manage your asthma and what to do if you do have a flare-up or asthma attack.
Your doctor should always write the plan with you, not for you. This means they ask you about your triggers, your symptoms and what you can do to treat them. The goal of the Asthma Action Plan is to prevent and control asthma symptoms. Even if you know what to do when your asthma flares up, it is very useful to have clear instructions from your doctor written down in an emergency.
