Peak flow meter use - series

Peak flow meter use - part one:

A peak flow meter helps you check how well your asthma is controlled.

Use it every day, and keep track of the results to help your doctor learn about your asthma. This may also help you determine if your asthma is getting worse, even before you have symptoms.
