Are there breathing exercises that can help COPD?

I have just been diagnosed with moderate COPD and am very nervous. I am on Spiriva and the doctor did not suggest anything else. Are there breathing exercises that could help? How fast does this disease progress? I will be 67 in a week. What does pain in the right side of the chest going into the back signify?
Thank you
