I saw consultant at hospital who advised a CT scan has shown moderate emphysema. It was a Colon consultant who wasn't able to or didn't want to expand on this. Told me to see my GP but he's on holiday so I'm quite stressed as I can't see him until the end of the month. I also have cardiovascular disease. Anyone able to offer some advice

Hi
Try not to worry too much about the diagnosis your not alone I have trivial emphysema for 16 months now and it has only got slightly worse but fortunately I walk the dogs every day and I think this is good therapy and I've cut down slightly on the cigarettes
I believe there isn't any medication for this at least I wasn't given any
Good luck
Gary
