Hello, I would like to know that if I were to quit smoking now, will my emphysema go away? I have been smoking for 3 years and I am only 22 year's old :(
Hi Mr. Worker,
No, it won't go away. The damage to your lungs has been done. But, stopping smoking can help prevent further damage.
What stage are you?
Idk I havent seen a doctor yet, I can't afford one, and I get these coughs from time that produce a lit of mucus and have me worried that I might actually have emphysema
OK. I'd assumed you'd been diagnosed. There is a good chance you may not have emphysema. You would be very young for it. I'm not saying it would be impossible just unlikely.
Your cough could be due to a number of things including allergies. See your doctor and stop smoking. Good luck.
