There's no rhyme or reason to how much or little exercise you do everyone's different in conditions age health and diet . Start of slowly and build up gradually. You may benefit from a pulmonary rehabilitation class in your area this gives you exercise education to many lung conditions and all done with experienced staff on hand speak with your GP and get a referral started x

Then they will give you the advice you need but if you can manage it maybe a walk or some light weights to build strength and only do what you can
