Asthma Action Plan
One of the best ways to look after your asthma is to use an asthma action plan.
What is an asthma action plan?
Everyone with asthma can benefit from using an asthma action plan. It tells you, and anyone with you:
- Which medicines you take every day to prevent symptoms and cut your risk of an asthma attack
- What to do if your asthma symptoms are getting worse
- The emergency action to take if you’re having an asthma attackand when to call 911.
You fill it in with your GP or asthma respiratory therapist, so it’s personal to you and your asthma.
If your GP hasn’t offered you an asthma action plan, don’t be afraid to ask him for one.
How to get an asthma action plan?
Asthma can be diagnosed at any time in one’s life. While there is no cure for asthma, it can be managed by working with a healthcare provider to develop a plan to keep your asthma under control.
Six Questions to Assess Asthma Control
- I have symptoms more than two days per week.
- I wake up at night with trouble breathing 1 – 3 times per week.
- My asthma makes it hard to do daily activities.
- I use my quick-relief inhaler more than two days per week.
- I have had two or more asthma episodes that required treatment with oral corticosteroids in the past year.
- I have had an asthma episode that required a call to 911, an urgent visit to the emergency room or hospitalized for my asthma in the past year.
If you answered “yes” to one or more of these questions, your asthma may not be under control.

I had a good experience at RespiArt with Al. He was nonjudgmental and willing to work around my situation. He is knowledgeable and makes things comfortable. Would highly recommend. :)
Side note: For people with disabilities or limited … More mobility, I do not think there’s an elevator. There are two flights of stairs. Parking around the place can also be tricky. -
i am new at this stuff but the service i got from Mr. Al was very good and professional.
I would recommend this to other in need for a CPAP machine...they are the only ones i found that would actually make monthly payments to help people … More who don't have $2000 + to give in one shot.
Thank you very much for your services. -
Incredible from the start.....I was sent to the wrong place by Google maps but found my way soon after..
....Almutaz reached me by phone while I was driving and I was so relieved...I didn't want to miss my appointment!!! He waited … More for me!!! Then at the office he educated me on sleep apnea cause I had so many questions.....he takes the time to explain!!! He gives great advice!!! Now we will see what the machine reads for me!! Keep you guys posted!!!! -
I encourage people to take their health seriously and consult with Al over at RespiArt. Not only he provides good advice for sleep apnea but he also cares about the BEST way to get treatment without breaking the bank. I would definitely … More recommend to anyone in need.

I was very happy with my experience with RespiArt for a home sleep apnea testing: I was able to get an appointment very quickly; Almutaz took the time the explain the equipment and sleep apnea to me; the specialist called me 2 days later … More to go over my results. Everything was great :)
