How do you deal with chronic obstructive lung disease?

Depends on severity: Take medications as recommended by your doctor. Avoid smoking. Eat right, plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables. Keep an active lifestyle, daily walking/exercise to prevent loss of muscle strength.

Find a good doctor: Find a doctor with whom you have rapport and work together on getting the best regimen of medicines/pulmonary rehabilitation etc. If this is about you, and you are 41, get checked for alpha-1-att deficiency. And if you smoke, quit!
