9.Take Deep Breaths
Special breathing exercises can help your lungs work better. Pursed lip breathing is one option: Breathe in through your nose, then breathe out at least twice as slowly through pursed lips. Diaphragmatic breathing, also called belly breathing, is another useful technique. If you need help with these, your doctor can refer you to a specialist.
10.Watch the Weather
Cold or dry air may make your symptoms worse. When the mercury dips, you might drape a scarf around your mouth and nose to make it easier to breathe. Your indoor air matters, too. A dehumidifier or humidifier can help make sure your air isn’t too humid or too dry. And remember to keep windows closed and run the air conditioner during allergy season to keep pollen out.
