How do you currently track your respiratory symptoms?
The bronchiectasis symptom and therapy tracker was designed
for those who wish to track their symptoms. Using this tool will help you track
how you feel, your airway clearance performance, and your daily activity log.
This tool provides boxes to check off on a daily basis to
track how you feel overall. If you have 3 or more yellow days in a row, notify
your health care provider of changes in your symptoms. Airway Clearance Tracker-
If you find that you need to perform airway clearance more than 3 times a day
for three days, please notify your health care provider of this change.
Daily Activity Log- includes a checklist for the most common
types of exercise and activities. Checking this box will note that you can
continue exercising, being unable to maintain your exercise plan is a red flag
that something is going on, and it may be time to contact your healthcare
provider.
Some individuals may be in denial since no one wants to face
the fact that they are getting sick, dealing with a flare-up/ exacerbation. Tracking
and managing your symptoms on a timely basis is far better than waiting until a
respiratory issue worsens. I hope that
you will find this management tool helpful.
