Upper body exercises increase arm and shoulder strength. They help support the rib cage and may help improve breathing. More upper body strength will help you do all sorts of things at work and home. Strength simply makes life easier and gives you more control.
  • Arm extensions. Start with your arms by your side. Breathe out as you slowly raise one arm to shoulder height. Keep the arm straight and pointing to the side. Breathe in as you slowly return the arm to your side.
  • Elbow circles. Sit or stand with your feet slightly apart. Place your hands on your shoulders with your elbows at shoulder level and pointing out. Slowly make a circle with your elbows. Breathe out as you start the circle and breathe in as you complete the circle.
  • Elbow breathing. Sit with your feet slightly apart. Lift your elbows to shoulder level and touch your fingertips in front of your chest. Breathe in as you slowly pull your elbows back so that your fingertips separate. Breathe out as you slowly bring fingertips together again.
NOTE: Talk to your doctor for a plan that’s right for you.

Please read this important safety information about DuoNeb®
DuoNeb® is indicated for the treatment of bronchospasm associated with COPD for patients requiring more than one bronchodilator. In a 12-week clinical study, the most common adverse reactions reported with DuoNeb® Inhalation Solution were chest pain, pharyngitis, diarrhea, bronchitis, nausea, and leg cramps.
Albuterol sulfate can have a significant cardiovascular effect, significant hypokalemia, and the potential life-threatening paradoxical bronchospasm.

Co-administration of DuoNeb® Inhalation Solution and other sympathomimetic agents may increase the risk of adverse cardiovascular effects.
