Hi
, and welcome to the community! There are lots of things you can do to improve your lung effeciency and reduce inflammation that help. Here is an article that offers tips for slowing COPD progression: https://copd.net/living/slowing-progression. Have you been diagnosed long? How are you feeling overall? Thinking of you. - Lori (Team Member) I was diagnosed with COPD three yrs ago. I do not want to get worse and want ways to keep it that way!
I hope some of the tips in the article help. If you haven't already, you can also ask your doctor for a referral to pulmonary rehab. A good therapist can help you find exercises that make your heart and lungs more efficient and help you maintain your quality of life. Best wishes. - Lori (Team Member)
Thanks Lori!
