Asthma Quick Quiz Results

According to your responses, you likely have severe persistent asthma.

This means you have continual asthma symptoms during the day and frequently at night.

Your treatment is likely not working as well as it should. See your doctor as soon as you can. Sit down with your doctor and work out an asthma action plan. This is a road map to symptom relief. It tells you when and how to use asthma medications, what to do if your asthma gets worse, and when to seek emergency care.

For most patients, modern asthma treatments work. Your treatment goals should be:

  • No symptoms or only infrequent, minor symptoms
  • Sleeping through the night
  • No -- or very few -- missed school or work days because of asthma
  • Normal physical activities
  • Rare emergency-room visits or hospital stays because of asthma
  • Few, if any, treatment side effects
