Strategies to prevent exhaustion due to shortness of breath by pacing, planning, and prioritizing activities, allowing one to perform daily tasks more efficiently with less fatigue.

The use of supplemental oxygen to increase alveolar oxygen delivery, which can alleviate symptoms of hypoxemia, reduce the workload on respiratory muscles, and improve quality of life.

Practices such as guided imagery, progressive muscle relaxation, or biofeedback to reduce stress and anxiety, which can help improve breathing patterns and alleviate dyspnea.

Exercises that build muscle strength, particularly in the upper body, which can enhance breathing capacity, improve posture, and facilitate easier breathing.

A resistance training for the respiratory muscles, which improves their strength and endurance, leading to decreased dyspnea and increased exercise tolerance.

Methods such as chest physiotherapy and postural drainage designed to assist with the clearance of mucus from the airways, thus improving lung function and reducing the risk of infections.

Education about healthy eating habits that can prevent malnutrition and obesity, both of which can negatively impact respiratory function and overall energy levels.

A breathing exercise that strengthens the diaphragm and improves the efficiency of breathing, leading to better oxygenation and decreased dyspnea.

Any sustained, rhythmic activity that improves cardiovascular fitness and increases endurance, aiding in better overall pulmonary capacity and function.
