In the majority of cases, most people with asthma believe they have good control of their condition. However, only 1 in 20 of people with asthma are in control of their asthma.
1 3 So what does control really mean?
Control means no coughing or wheezing, no night-time awakenings and no emergency visits to your doctor or hospital.
3 Control means participating in activities you enjoy and not having to avoid them. Asthma control is not about getting over a symptom quickly: control is about not getting a symptom in the first place. Better control of your asthma means eradicating the signs of asthma from your life, so you can be just like 'normal' people.
Asthma control means using a reliever less and living life more. And the first step towards better asthma control - and possibly a life free from asthma symptoms - is finding out what is your level of asthma control. To do this you should use Asthma Score.
