How Do I Know If My Asthma May Be Uncontrolled?

Some may think if you have a management plan and are actively avoiding triggers, that means your asthma is well-controlled. However, that is not always enough.

Ask yourself if you experience one or more of the following. If you do, your asthma may be uncontrolled.

Inhaler Icon

You have asthma symptoms or use your rescue inhaler MORE than TWO TIMES per week.

Night Icon

You wake up at night with symptoms MORE than TWO TIMES per month.

Calendar Icon

You refill your rescue inhaler MORE than TWO TIMES per year.

Realizing your asthma is uncontrolled is an important step toward getting it under control.

 

DISCOVER A POSSIBLE TREATMENT OPTION

Do you want to learn about an add-on treatment for severe asthma that is not an inhaler?

Please talk to your doctor about your asthma management plan.

HELP BREAK THE CYCLE OF ASTHMA

Take a Questionnaire to Help Assess Your Level of Asthma Control

The Asthma Impairment and Risk Questionnaire (AIRQ®) is a set of 10 yes or no questions designed to help you and your doctor better understand your current level of asthma control.

It will be very important to discuss your answers and your total score with your doctor.

The AIRQ® is NOT intended to:

  • Diagnose asthma
  • Be used to help assess asthma control in children younger than 12 years of age
  • Take the place of advice or treatments given to you by your doctor
  • Tell you which asthma management plans are best for you
  • Collect or store any of your laboratory values or lung function test values
