It's World Asthma Day!

Check out this awesome advice from the team at Health NZ – Southern concerning Asthma Management!This World Asthma Day, use this checklist to see what you can do to improve how well your asthma is controlled:

• Take your prescribed medicine, especially your preventer, every day, regardless of whether you have symptoms or not.

• If you smoke, try to quit. Try to keep clear of smoke and fumes.

• Use a peak flow meter to take and record regular readings to check that your asthma is under control.

• Keep active – physical activity improves how well your lungs work, and people who are fit usually find they have less asthma and cope better when they do have it.

• Visit your asthma team (your GP, your practice nurse and your pharmacist) regularly. They will review the medicines you are taking and can teach you how to use your inhaler properly so you get the most benefit.

• Ask your doctor about managing allergies if these are a known trigger for you.

• Work with your doctor or nurse to create an asthma action plan to reduce how bad your asthma symptoms are and how often you have them: www.asthmafoundation.org.nz/resources/4-stage-asthma-action-plans

• Use the Asthma Under Control Test to check if your asthma is well controlled or not: www.asthmacontrol.co.nz/
