A member asked:
After my rescue inhaler, how much should my peak flow readings increase?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
300+: Depends on the severity of your asthma. You are a 25 yo male, so it should be in the 300-400 range at the very least to show that it's working. If it is in the 150 range then you are probably having much more severe asthma that rescue inhaler alone won't touch.
