I'm happy to be corrected by the more experienced guys on here but as far as I was aware, emphysema doesn't cause excess phlegm, that's more bronchitis so if I were you, I would call your GP for a check up.

I have emphysema but don’t get phlegm so maybe you have bronchitis or something else. I agree with coughingalltheway that you should see your gp
