If your asthma is not under control, you may notice your symptoms on a regular basis, like coughing, breathlessness, tightness of chest and wheezing. You may even be experiencing asthma symptoms multiple times a day. The frequency of asthma symptoms should be discussed with your doctor.

Using your reliever puffer too often could be a sign of poor asthma control.  If you only use a reliever to treat your asthma, you are only treating the symptoms. Talk to your doctor about using a preventer to treat the cause of your asthma. This doesn’t include using your reliever before exercise. Find out more about asthma medications.

A good night’s sleep is an important part of living your healthy, normal life. Uncontrolled asthma can lead to flare-ups which keep you up at night. The right asthma treatment should help you wake up feeling rested not breathless.
