Emphyema Concerns
by Bevee650, Jul 07, 2009 11:26PM
My doctor informed me after a c-scan for chest pain that emphysema showed up in my upper right lung. I was surprised. I quit smoking over 16 years ago. He offered me no tests or information about what I need to do or what to expect. I was a smoker for about 25 years before quitting. Why now? I only have shortness of breath after walking up 3 flights of stairs where I live. I walk about 3 miles a week. I'm worried now. My dad died from this. What steps should I take? What tests do I need? I am a female 68 yrs of age. Thanks for any advice.
