Asthma Management
Personalised asthma care, education and treatment to help you understand your symptoms, manage flare-ups and stay active and well.
What is asthma?
Asthma is a condition that affects the airways in the lungs. When the airways become narrowed or inflamed, it can cause symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, chest tightness and difficulty breathing.
Asthma is treatable, and with the right management plan, most people with asthma can enjoy an active life and keep their symptoms under control.
Common asthma symptoms
A whistling sound when breathing
Particularly at night or early morning
A feeling of pressure or tightness
Difficulty getting enough air
Your Asthma Action Plan
A written asthma action plan is an important part of managing asthma. Your doctor can work with you to create a plan that explains what to do when your symptoms are under control, when they start to worsen, and when you need urgent medical attention.
An action plan can help you:
- Recognise when your symptoms are getting worse
- Know which steps to take when symptoms change
- Reduce the need for emergency care
- Reduce missed school or work
- Use your asthma medicines appropriately
