When it's relevant
Wheeze, cough at night or with exercise, breathlessness, or needing your reliever puffer more than a couple of times a week.
Why it's worth a visit
Well-controlled asthma should rarely get in the way of daily life. Needing a reliever often is a sign that treatment could be working better.
How your GP can help
Your GP reviews your symptoms and inhaler technique, adjusts treatment where needed and writes an action plan for what to do when symptoms flare.
