Occasionally I go above 350, but rarely, I am just thankful I get to 350, am still breathing, but, if you can get yours higher, good luck, I keep working on mine, You never know. LOL. To: asthma Sent: Sunday, February 12, 2012 12:41 PM Subject: i need help with peak flows please?

when i first got asthma never knew what my normal peak flow should be so i looked it up and it said it should be 455. but i could never get it past my personal best which is 400. so when i gave my new reg doctor my asthma action plan to fill out she went and got a paper with peak flows on it and from her paper she guessed some on my peak flow cause i am short and my height was not on the page. so she said that normal for me was 350. so when she filled out my asthma action plan she for green put 280-350 for yellow is put 175-280 and for red she put 175 and below. and she only put on paper to have QVAR when i get in yellow but no i am on advair all the time. but what i am confused about is i thought she would have started the peak flow at 400 since it was my best instead of starting at 350 which she though was my fav. i am trying to fill out a new asthma action plan so that i can show it to my lung doctor in march and just wanted to know

what i should put my peak flows at. should i put it startign at 400 or startign at 350 and who is right with the numbers me or my doctor. i went to a website and typed on age hight and thigns and got my 455 but not sure if me or my doctor is right
