Will I have to change my diet, or are there any special foods that can help?
You should eat sensible, healthy food that is freshly prepared to ensure that you stay in good health.
Many people with COPD find that breathing becomes more difficult if they eat a heavy meal, so try to eat 'little and often' throughout the day. If you are losing weight you should try vitamin fortified high protein drinks. These are available from pharmacies.
Try to cut down on caffeine-containing drinks (tea and coffee) if you are having difficulty sleeping.
