Check in with BLF pages, or NHS choices site about diet for respiratory health.

Here's blf page:

Ask GP for a referral to pulmonary rehabilitation to get you started with the exercise and from there you can expand into other forms of exercise.

I've lost over 1 stone in 8 weeks by joining Slimming world and feel brilliant and am able to walk much further now. I have emphysema and fibrosis of the lung caused by radiotherapy 25 years ago. Give it a go!
