asthma self-monitoring

Asthma self-monitoring involves regularly checking your symptoms and lung function to manage your condition effectively. This can include keeping track of how often you use your rescue inhaler, noting any triggers like allergens or stress, and measuring your peak flow with a portable device. By observing patterns in your symptoms, you can identify when your asthma might worsen and take action, such as adjusting medications or avoiding triggers. Self-monitoring helps you communicate better with your healthcare provider and enables you to maintain better control over your asthma for a healthier life.
