If that includes you or someone you love, check out the organization's Web site to learn how to work with your family doctor to manage asthma. Find out how to monitor peak flow, check out a sample plan of action for handling an attack, and get examples of precautions you can take at home. There's also advice specifically for children and seniors with asthma. (http://www.lungusa.org/asthma/)
