Asthma Action Plan

Hi y'all,

I had my follow up appt with my pulmonologist after my ER visit last week for my asthma. It ended up that my regular pulmo wasn't there so I saw someone different. Wow...what a difference! My regular pulmo didn't emphasize using a peak flow meter. This one did. In fact, she gave me a book from the American Lung Association and filled in a chart for an action plan for me. I feel so good having a plan! I'm a plan person. She even made a copy of it for me to give my husband so he knows what to do too. He's become a little more involved in asking about my peak flow lately since I started having attacks last week.

I'm glad to know what to do now.
Lil, that's wonderful! I should have known as a teacher that you were a planner! lol My cardio told me this week that he and other cardio's had OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder)! lol

I found a link that discusses using a Peak Flow Meter and though you now know about this, I thought I'd put it out there for others to learn.

I sure hope you feel better soon!
