Exercise..when is too much?
Good morning to all....I have LC and COPD, use Advair and Allbuterol. My doctor says its ok for me to exercise. I bought a treadmill so I can walk inside, my question is how do I decide I have gone too far. Last week had an episode while walking,I had to use rescue inhaler and I couldn't catch my breath, really scared me. Now I keep incline and speed down for fear it will happen again. Any ideas.
