The trick to living with COPD is to start breaking tasks down into manageable units
during which you finish one unit, sit and rest, then start the next. It will slow you down greatly but won't stop you.
Exercise you can tolerate won't hurt you and can help your cardiovascular system. However, it won't help your damaged lungs, so the best idea is the work a little, rest a little idea.
