Asthma Management

What Is Asthma?

Asthma is an inflammatory lung disease that affects the airways.
The airways are extremely sensitive and enlarge in reaction to particular stimuli. The airway muscles contract and the airway lining becomes swollen and inflamed, resulting in the production of sticky mucus.


These alterations lead the airways to become constricted, making it difficult to breathe and resulting in the usual asthma symptoms of coughing, wheezing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath.

Why asthma management is important?

Medication is required for effective asthma management. Good asthma care also involves addressing other illnesses, such as hay fever, that can affect asthma. A healthy lifestyle can help you keep your asthma symptoms under control and feel good.

With proper asthma care, it is possible to live a normal, active life. The best method to keep your asthma under control is to adhere to the asthma action plan that you and your doctor prepared together. A plan of action gives easy instructions for controlling your asthma on a daily basis, as well as advise on what to do if your asthma symptoms flare up.

What is an asthma action plan?

You and your physician construct an asthma action plan to help you manage your asthma. It offers information on how to maintain your health and what to do when your asthma is unstable and you require assistance.

There is no “standard” asthma action plan, as each individual’s asthma is unique. You must design a plan to address your specific triggers, symptoms, and medications. It may be determined by symptoms, peak-flow measurements, or both. Nevertheless, symptom-based regimens are more prevalent.
