Dr. Bernard Seif answered

Specializes in Clinical Psychology

Lungs: There are a number of simple breathing exercises from things like yoga and qigong. Please check w/your doctor to make sure all is well and that you can do some of them then look into some training in one of those areas. Peace and good health.
