10 Emphysema Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #1: No Symptoms
It’s important to note that many people who are developing emphysema may not experience any symptoms at all. Oftentimes symptoms will not be experienced until more than 50% of the air sacs in their lungs have received irreversible damage.
If you’re a heavy smoker, remember that just because you’re not experiencing shortness of breath or other breathing problems doesn’t mean that you’re safe from emphysema. The problem can creep up on you, and once it does, it’s too late.
