Asthma is an inflammatory disease that makes airways prone to narrowing and increased mucus production. According to the National Asthma Council Australia, asthma affects more than two million Australians and leads to increased absenteeism in the workplace and in schools.
The ‘Guide to Positively Managing Asthma’ has information on diet and lifestyle management techniques to help you maintain asthma control. There is also an asthma quiz – you can discuss the results with your doctor in order to help improve your asthma management and quality of life.
'The Asthma Action Plan’ helps you develop a personal action plan in consultation with your doctor. The Action Plan is a summary of the best way you can manage your asthma under different conditions, such as when your symptoms get worse. It also enables you to keep a record of your medicines and provides important information for your doctor to help you prevent and better manage any acute asthma attacks.
