Do's and Don'ts

Do's

  • Do take your medications as prescribed

    Regular use of controller inhalers or medications can prevent flare-ups and improve lung function.

  • Do learn proper inhaler technique

    Using your inhaler correctly ensures you get the full benefit of your medication.

  • Do monitor your breathing

    Keep track of any changes in symptoms, peak flow readings, or frequency of rescue inhaler use.

  • Do avoid known triggers

    Stay away from smoke, dust, allergens, and cold air whenever possible.

  • Do stay active (as tolerated)

    Gentle, supervised exercise can strengthen your lungs and improve endurance.

Don'ts

  • Don't ignore worsening symptoms

    Frequent coughing, increased shortness of breath, or wheezing may signal a need to adjust your treatment.

  • Don't skip follow-up visits

    Regular check-ins help monitor your condition and prevent complications.

  • Don't stop your controller medications

    Even if you feel better, stopping medication can lead to a flare-up.

  • Don't use your rescue inhaler excessively

    Overuse may indicate poor control and the need for a different treatment plan.

  • Don't wait to seek help during a flare-up

    Early treatment can prevent emergencies and hospital stays.
