YELLOW ZONE: My Asthma Is Getting Worse |
I have coughing, or wheezing, or chest tightness, or shortness of breath, or waking at night due to asthma. Or, I can do some -- but not all -- of my usual activities.
I add this quick relief drug (and keep taking my GREEN ZONE drugs):

RED ZONE: Medical Alert! |
I am very short of breath, or quick-relief drugs have not helped, or I cannot do usual activities, or symptoms are the same/worse after 24 hours in the yellow zone.
DRUG:_________________________ HOW MUCH & WHEN:_________________________
After taking this drug, call the doctor NOW! Go to the hospital or call 911 for an ambulance if still in the red zone after 15 minutes AND I have not reached my doctor.
DANGER SIGNS:
- Trouble walking and talking due to shortness of breath.
- Lips or fingernails are blue.
Take 4 or 6 puffs of quick relief medicine and go to the hospital/call an ambulance! |
