Have been diagnosed with COPD for several years, 75 years old, now in Pulmonary Rehab, 2X per week. Having difficulty with breathing while exercising on machines in Rehab with the covid mask on. How are others handling this?

@dellat welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I did pulmonary rehab and loved it but it was before Covid. I feel for your frustration with masks and trying to learn a new breathing technique. You are learning pursed lip breathing, right? Have you tried different types of masks? Have you talked to the manager of the rehab for help with this?
