asthma control measures

Asthma control measures assess how well your asthma is managed and symptoms are kept under check. Key indicators include how often you experience symptoms like coughing, wheezing, or shortness of breath; how often you need quick-relief inhalers; how often you wake up at night due to asthma; and how well your daily activities are affected. Good control means infrequent symptoms, minimal use of rescue inhalers, and no nighttime disruptions, allowing for a normal, active life. Regular check-ups and tracking these factors help healthcare providers adjust treatment plans to keep asthma stable and prevent flare-ups.
