Well @A MyCOPDTeam Member, When I am having a shortness of breath attack I get in a tripod stance, and I do pursued lipped breathing for three breaths. Then I take in a relaxing deep breath and just exhale. I repeat it a few times till I get my O2 numbers back up into the 90's.
When I have a coughing attack I will drink some pineapple juice.
Hope that answers your question... Breathe Ez..............

Hi Violet, you must be new.
What are you meaning by COPD attack? Are you talking about a coughing attack, or shortness of breath attack?
