Story
Imagine a breathing technique that can increase oxygen uptake and delivery to the cells, improve blood circulation, and unblock the nose. Perhaps it can help open the airways of the lungs, enhance blood flow and oxygen delivery to the brain, improve sleep, and bring calmness to the mind. It might even restore bodily functions disturbed by stress, build greater resilience, and help you to live longer. You might think this description sounds farfetched. But it isn’t.

Significant lung damage from smoking, exposure in some jobs, or even diseases such as AIDS and tuberculosis can lead to COPD. Having chronic obstructive pulmonary disease can leave you feeling short of breath, sometimes reluctant to go shopping or for a walk because you are afraid of more difficulties. You may have wheezing, tightness in the chest, or frequent coughing. Although you see a doctor for your COPD, you often have questions and need answers. In this concise and practical guide, leading medical expert Donald A. Mahler answers some of the most pressing questions that he has been asked over 30 years of seeing patients with COPD, including
• Why am I short of breath?
• What medications can treat my COPD?
• Can surgery improve COPD?
• What are flare-upsand how can I prevent them?
• How can I stop smoking?
• What should I do if my breathing isn't getting better?
• Can exercise help? If so, which exercises are the most beneficial?
• What's the best way to prevent lung infections?
• How does COVID-19 affect COPD?
• How can I travel with oxygen?
• Can I be sexually active with COPD?
Providing up-to-date, evidence-based content that covers more than just medications, COPD gives you the tools you need to keep activeand thrive.
