5. Important Information for Measurement and Control
of your Values
• It is necessary to keep regular control of your peak flow
values. Doctors generally recommend taking one
measurement in the morning and one in the evening,
every day, normally before inhaling your prescribed drugs.
Carry out additional measurements whenever you feel
unwell or perceive shortness of breath.
• Your doctor is interested in the highest peak flow value
that you can achieve during a measurement session.
Please repeat the measurements until you feel you have
got the best possible result for the moment. Take care to
have sufficient relaxation between measurements.In case
of poorer results at each successive measurement session
talk to your doctor. It may be a sign of instable asthma.
• Please note that asthma attacks are indicated in
advance by low peak flow values before you feel it!
Please contact your doctor in cases such as these.
Also do so if you have signs and symptoms such as
chest tightness, shortness of breath coughing or
wheezing.
• Self-measurement means control, not diagnosis or
treatment. In any event, please be sure to discuss
your measured values with your doctor. Your doctor
will also explain which values are normal for you.
