What is an asthma action plan?

In this video, Dr Sanjay Sethi and Dr Heather Lehman explain what an asthma action plan is. An asthma action plan is a written plan that outlines how to manage your asthma on a daily basis and what to do when your asthma is at various levels of control - green zone, yellow zone, and red zone. An asthma action plan should include: instructions on how to monitor your asthma and recognize if it’s worsening; a list of your asthma triggers and how to avoid them; instructions for your medications and when to adjust dosing based on your symptoms; and how to deal with an asthma attack or emergency.
