Just received my results for Alpha 1 Antitrypsin level. It has come back as 0.75 g/l - does anyone know what this means?
I was recently diagnosed with severe
emphysema
and a 5mm nodule has been found on my lung.

Too hot, too cold.

No help from dr
She told me I don't look like I have
emphysema
and if I did I wouldn't be able to get upstairs to her room without needing to sit down half way. She did listen to my chest and said clear. She grudgingly gave me antibiotics when I said phlegm dark green.

Travel.
Came back and flew out to Kuwait for a week on business, now remember I have stage 1 bullous
emphysema
. Before I went I met with my doctor and asked about flying, he said since my FEV1% is good at 81% I will be ok for flying.

COPD Clinic review
According to the COPD Consultant I have end stage
emphysema
. I said does that mean I am on the way out. I explained that although I am 64 I still work 4 days a week. He didn't seem to have an answer to that just kept looking at the screen.

Just getting over the shock of being told I have the beginnings of emphysema.
No clot but some fluid on one lung, and background
emphysema
. Oh, yeah, incidental findings were a haitus hernia and a renal cyst. One has to laugh. Doc did say it was the beginnings of
emphysema
.

Herbal Remedies has one tried any of these
Mullein leaves and flowers are used to treat bronchitis, colds, flu,
emphysema
, and laryngitis. Mullein tinctures, teas, and syrups help bring up sticky phlegm. Mullein is used to fight bacteria and helps inhibit the spread of flu viruses.

I'm a little scared.
Soon I shall be 82 years old and for the past nine years having fought Cancer and hopefully beaten it have been nothing but optimistic about my
Emphysema
, though very aware that it was getting worse. Today I seem to have reached the end of my tether and wonder how much longer I can go on.
