gives relief from symptoms such as tightness in your chest, shortness of
breath, wheezing and coughing. Avoid smoking and minimise your exposure to
pollution, dust and fumes. Along with that, a little exercise each day can
help you stay strong. Talk to your doctor about how much exercise is good for
