Hi and welcome. Was diagnosed with moderate emphysema 14 months ago. I stopped smoking, gained weight and started exercising. I now feel fitter than I have felt in years. There is so much you can do for yourself. Please don't Google it. Remember we are here to help.

Healthier eating is also good. Try to avoid people with colds and other infections. Wash your hands a lot and avoid touching your face with your hands. All these help - they were tips I learned from people posting on this site, when I was diagnosed with moderate COPD three years ago.
