Definitions for "Asthma Action Plan"

A tool to help manage asthma episodes. An action plan will tell what medications and other actions should be taken to keep asthma under control. Asthma Attack A worsening of asthma symptoms constitutes an asthma attack. In an asthma attack, muscles around the airways tighten up, making the airway openings narrower so less air can flow through. Inflammation increases and the airways become more swollen and narrow. Cells in the airways also make more mucus than usual. This extra mucus also narrows the airways. These changes cause the symptoms of asthma and make it harder to breathe.
