Does your asthma ever wake you up in the middle of the night, causing you to keep your inhaler on the night side table?
Does a canister of bronchodilator (rescue inhaler) last you less than 2 months?
Does your heart race, or do you get jittery from your asthma medications?
Do you avoid certain activities because of your asthma?
Do you ever find yourself in a panic because you can't find your rescue inhaler?
Do you ever miss school or work days because of your asthma?
Have you been to the Emergency Room because of your asthma more than once in the past year?
If you answered yes to any of the above questions, then your asthma is not likely to be under good control. You should be under the care of a doctor. If you are already under the care of a doctor, you should discuss the results with him or her so that your treatment regimen can be optimized.
