Keep it in check, from triggers to treatment
There are many ways your plan can help you manage asthma as part of a comprehensive approach to your health.
Talk to your doctor
One of the most important things you can do to manage your asthma is establish a relationship with a doctor or other health care provider that you trust. At your routine health checkups, you and your doctor can set and review your goals for controlling your symptoms and living your healthiest life.
Download this simple Asthma Care Checklist to bring to your next appointment. If you need a doctor or allergy and asthma specialist, use our Find a Doctor and Estimate Costs tool.
Know your medications
Keep a list of all your medication names and strengths on hand, and review with your doctor instructions for using your controller medication and rescue inhaler.
