Seeking help

Hi Thanks for taking out time to read this. I started suffering from "Ragweed" allergies last october. I was sneezing all day long and coughing for about a whole month, aafter that all of my symptoms went away leaving me short of breath which i still suffer from. I also produce think white mucus which is only clear in color. I dont cough, dont have any fever or headache, eye pain and i am not loosing weight either. My nose stays stuffed up all the time and my chest tightens up when i breath. i went to my doctor for asthma check but it came out negative 2 times. I went to get a second opinion and this other doctor told me i have  post nasal drip which is causing my lungs to swell up. I am wondering if its emphysema i am suffering with or any other problem. I never got sick in my entire life but last year. I am only 21 and wondering if i can develop COPD at this early age and with a history of only 2 years of occassional smoking. He also told me i have lung capacity  of a 63 year old man, and my heart is working just fine.? I quit smoking last year.. Thank you once again for your time..

What this sounds like is that your environment is very bad for your health. Not your locations per se, but your health environment, but more specifically your air. Allergens and other foreign particles that can cause your body to react comes into you directly through your breathing, and if all your breathing is bad air this can greatly effect your health.

I used to have a problem with air myself, and after talking with a colleague of mine I decided to do some research on taking care of such a problem as I interact with many who have this same problem. What I found is that most every home has air that is greatly worse than even the worst outdoor air because airflow is greatly reduced. Therefore I looked for a healthy way to take care of this problem. My colleague pointed me to Polarized Air Filters and after doing some research on that I found they were a very good idea, which I proved to myself after purchasing them. My problems no longer come up anymore.

Based on my experiences with this, and that of my colleagues, I would suggest it to you as well. The best place for price that I've found is at www.airlifeone.com. I've also been in contact with this company whenever I've had questions about their product, and it's been a good experience as far as companies go.

I hope that this helps you out.
