Asthma and anxiety advice needed

[Ash160808]

Hi all, so I am having a bit of a rough time at the moment but with having both asthma and anxiety it’s a never ending cycle. So the doctor as advised me to loose weight as I am about 48 pounds overweight and he said that will help my asthma and feeling short of breath but not sure if it will or not? Also I am trying to stop smoking but it’s really hard:( the best way I can describe how my throat feels is if you been up all night laughing and joking in a smokey room you get that kind of tight restricted feelings if that makes sense. I want to start exercising but it worries me about my asthma. The doctor has checked and said I’m not wheezy on my chest although I do still have a very mucus cough and am coughing up clearing big clumps of mucus.
Any advice will be great
Thank you

The best advice is the common sense advice you received from your doctor. Take care of your physical health. Eat a healthy diet, exercise, lose weight and stop smoking. There's no magic advice or magic pill here :shrug:
