Get More Out Of Your Next Doctor's Visit

The American Academy of Allergy Asthma & Immunology suggests these things to get the most out of your next doctor's visit:

• Educate Yourself: The more you know about your asthma the more you can proactively partner with your doctor to improve your asthma. If you do not know where to get the best information, ask your doctor for an information prescription.
• Keep good records: Track symptoms with a symptom diary and bring it to your appointment to show your doctor.
• Ask questions to get more out of your visit: Clear communication is essential and using these questions will help you improve communication with your doctor.
• Be proactive: Bring questions with you to your visit. If you do not understand make sure you speak up and ask the doctor to explain again.
