Asthma is a chronic disease.   In might think your asthma is under control, but you might be making changes in your lifestyle that you don't realize are due to
your asthma.

To find out if your asthma is under control, answer these questions:

  • Have you missed any school or work in the past month due to your asthma?

  • Do you have trouble with exercise/sports because of asthma symptoms (chest tightness, cough, shortness of breath, wheezing)?

  • Do you take the escalator instead of the stairs because you get short of breath?


  • Do you have chest tightness, cough, shortness of breath, or wheezing during the day more than 2 times per week?

  • Do you have chest tightness, cough, shortness of breath, or wheezing  at night more than 2 times per month?

  • Do you refill your rescue inhaler more than 2 times per year?

  • Do you avoid the homes of friends with pets because you get shortness of breath, wheezing, or chest tightness?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, your asthma may not be under control.   Call or see your doctor about your asthma.
