worried

by Allisonc78, Jul 24, 2008 10:26AM
I have been experiencing shortness of breath for two months now. It all started after a bad cold. I have had a CT scan and a pulmonary function test. The results came back mild asthma. I did smoke for 13 years but quit two years ago. I am worried about emphysema, do you think its possible this is the beginning stages?
