Emphysema

[cincymike]

Just received my cat scan of my lungs: Mild upper lobe dominant emphysema.

So what's the meaning of the diagnosis?

Thanks for your reply!

Live as healthy a lifestyle as possible, use your prescribed medications properly, stay away from sickness, stay away from all harmful chemicals, perfumes, strong scents, etc. and exercise daily. You want to do everything possible to maintain your lung function for as long as possible. When your numbers begin to drop, fight depression and continue to push forward and continue to enjoy life. A positive attitude and receiving strength and guidance from God will help you to continue to live a productive life.
