A member asked:
I have asthma and i am weezing on my exhale but when i check my peak flow meter i am in the green zone i don't understand?

Wheezing: Not all wheezing is asthma, and peak flows are not very accurate. I would advise you see your doctor about your symptoms to determine what is going on.

See your doctor: I would recommend seeing your doctor regarding this issue--peak flow meters, while sometimes helpful, can sometimes be manipulated by other factors. Therefore, peak flow may not be the best indicator of asthma control.
