Speak with your doctor
Identifying uncontrolled asthma may be important for you and your doctor, especially if you have experienced ANY of the following even with your daily asthma medication:
Used your fast-acting rescue inhaler to control your asthma symptoms 3 or more times per week
Woken up in the middle of the night because of your asthma symptoms once or more per week
Taken systemic steroids for an asthma attack
Been to the hospital because of an asthma attack
These questions can help you and your doctor identify your kind of asthma.
- 1Could white blood cells such as eosinophils be a reason for my asthma symptoms?
- 2Should I get a blood test done to see if high eosinophil counts are associated with my asthma symptoms?
- 3Should I see an asthma specialist, such as an Allergist or a Respirologist
(if you’re talking to your primary care physician)? - 4What are treatment options for eosinophilic asthma?
