COPD...: COPD is a slowly progressive and incurable disease. But, with treatment, symptoms can be controlled. To allow the disease to progress at the slowest rate possible, smoking cessation is a must! ask your doctor about pulmonary rehab as this will also help with symptoms and increase your overall sense of well-being. If your oxygen level is low, you may need supplemental oxygen to decrease mortality.

Depends: The most important challenge is stopping smoking if you are still smoking. Otherwise, it depends on your symptoms and severity of lung disease. Medications and regular exercise can help.
