Aerobic exercise, at least 30 minutes every day and weight/resistance training for upper, lower and core muscle groups. These will help you get in better condition and conditioned muscles O2 more efficiently. If this seems impossible, come back and I can give you ideas on how to get started on a good exercise program.

I have started a breathing regiment. Breath in through the nose for 2 seconds, hold your breath for 5 seconds, breathe out through mouth with purged lips for 4 seconds and hold for 5 seconds before repeating 5 times. After this becomes easier, try holding for 10 seconds each time. It's helped me!!

I don't always have the energy, but I do feel better if I have exercised. Some days it is sitting in front of the computer- but even that is not bad.

Hi 51George. You could try getting into pulmonary rehab, they will give you exercises and tell you all you need to know about what to eat, how to cope when you get breathless and answer any questions you may have. take care
