Life with Asthma

Tools and support from Banner Health 

At Banner Health, we’re here to help you live well with asthma. While an asthma diagnosis can feel overwhelming, most people can manage their symptoms and lead full, active lives with the right care and support. 

Our goal is to give you the tools and knowledge you need to understand your condition, manage your symptoms and prevent asthma attacks. Below, you'll find resources to help you take charge of your asthma every day. 

Monitoring your asthma 

Tracking your symptoms is one of the best ways to manage asthma. Coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath can vary over time, and learning to recognize patterns can help you catch issues early. 

You can monitor your asthma by: 

  • Keeping a daily asthma journal 
  • Tracking your triggers and flare-ups 
  • Recording lung function using peak flow meters 
  • Creating and following an asthma action plan 

Learn how to monitor your asthma and make an asthma action plan. 

How to use an inhaler 

Even if your asthma is mild, you’ll likely be prescribed a quick-relief inhaler. Using it correctly is key to managing symptoms when they arise. 

There are different types of inhalers, including: 

  • Metered-dose inhalers (MDIs) 
  • Dry powder inhalers (DPIs) 
  • Soft mist inhalers 

Each one works a little differently, so it’s important to know how and when to use yours. 

Learn how to use your inhaler properly.
