Asthma action plans are an extremely valuable tool that in my opinion every single asthmatic should have. It will help you know exactly what steps to take and when to call your doctor or go to the hospital when your asthma is acting up. They are developed along with your doctor.

You and your healthcare provider should team up to develop an asthma action plan that works for you. Ask your doctor for a plan, or download one from the internet to bring with you to your next appointment. Review the plan with your doctor to make sure you understand how to use it and when to use it. https://asthma.net/coping/developingactionplan/
