I am asthmatic ( I think this is what your doictor means) also and have found the following to be good.
Walking – Don’t go crazy. Start with what you can and then build up.
Swimming – Great as your lungs are using all the oxygen in them.
Cycling – Take my little boy for a bike ride every week. Just stop for 5 minutes when I get a little out of breath.
Start by running (or walking quicker) up stairs and build it from there. Also, watch what you eat as some foods can trigger astmatic or allergic reactions (mine is rape seed oil, starts me wheezing like a cart horse).
Cut down on the fats and increase the exercise, this should help.
Best of luck.
