I am a COPD patient recovering from a recent exacerbation. I am doing half an hour of deep breathing exercises in the morning and evening daily. Additionally I take half an hours walk in the evening after deep breathing exercises with a 10/15 minutes gap in between the two. Am I overdoing it and if yes, what should be the ideal regimen for physical activity both deep breathing exercises as also walking?

Dear Mr. lybrate-user, please mention the grade of disease severity. For the exercise during evening, please don't do deep breathing exercises after meals. Evening walk should be at slow pace, don't overdo if you feel breathless of any chest discomfort. Rather than straining much, regular and routine exercises will help you more.
