What is a Action Plan is and why you need one.

[NCMC Asthma Support Supervisor]

An Action plan is a set of clear guidelines for what to do when you have symptoms/signs like Shortness of Breath, coughing, wheezing, waking up at night, or chest tightness. The Action Plan is a key tool for controlling asthma. Once a plan is in place, you can begin to see whether it's working to control your asthma.
