Suggest Ways To Improve Breathing When Having Asthma

I am a 59 year old female. I have had asthma all my life. Not on any meds until late teens, and then it was a rescue inhaler. Now, I am on symbicort, albuterol, and spirva was added the last month. I use my albuterol at least 6 times a day. My specialist thinks that I have COPD. What can I do to improve my breathing?? I am still working, and this has been limiting my activity now, especially excercising.
