Exercise is good to help improve lung function as long as you won't fall down and hurt yourself. Use oxygen if necessary. How long have you had this disease and at what phase are you in is also important to concider.

i suggest that the patient consult the doctor's advice first -- what type of exercise is ok, how long etc.
