Peak Flow Zone Chart

The Peak Flow Zone Chart is a tool used to monitor and manage asthma symptoms. It helps individuals track their peak flow readings and assess their lung function. By using the chart, individuals can identify their personal "green," "yellow," and "red" zones based on their peak flow readings. This helps them take appropriate actions, such as adjusting medication or seeking medical attention, to control their asthma symptoms.

The peak flow zone chart is typically filled out by individuals who have asthma or other respiratory conditions to track their day-to-day lung function. It is not filed with any specific organization or authority.
