Discuss w/ Dr: You need to talk about this and take steps to improve whatever you can - stay away from smoking and other air pollutants. Learn and do breathing exercises. Stay well hydrated and keep a good diet/exercise program. It's not a great Dx, but you can live quite well for a normal life span. There's no automatic reason not to live well and be happy .
