My doctor keeps advising me to exercise more; for this she has asked me to go for pulmonary rehabilitation . How can I exercise when I can't even catch my breath?

The staff at pulmonary rehabilitation centres are specially trained to work with people with breathing problems. They teach people ways to keep up with their daily activities without much shortness of breath. One can improve and breathe better with pulmonary rehabilitation. Specific exercises are taught that help build muscle strength, including the muscles used for breathing. One can also learn to manage stress and control breathing.
