Asthma Review
If you have been advised by the practice to submit an annual review of your Asthma symptoms, please use this form. A healthcare professional at the practice will review your form and get back to you if further assessment is required.
Asthma is a long-term condition that affects the smaller airways or bronchioles in your lungs – the tubes that take air to and from your lungs when you breathe.
If you have Asthma, your airways are more sensitive and can react intermittently to triggers by constricting and getting inflamed, which causes the typical symptoms of Asthma such as chest tightness, shortness of breath, cough and increased sputum.
If the symptoms are severe, it can also cause an ‘Asthma attack’, when a person may develop severe difficulty in breathing. This can lead to collapse or death if left untreated.
The best way to stop your Asthma causing symptoms is to monitor your Asthma and take any medication prescribed regularly. If your symptoms are changing and you are experiencing more frequent or severe symptoms, please contact the practice.
By completing an Asthma review each year, you can work with your healthcare professional to make sure you are on the right medicine to keep your Asthma symptoms under control.
