Asthma Action Plans
An asthma action plan, also called "asthma management plan", is a form to keep track of medications, remind you what your peak flow is, and indicate what steps to take if you have an asthma attack. Sit down with your doctors and ask them to fill out a written action plan. Have your plan updated at least once a year.
