Patient's question:
Now I have been carefully checked to have bilateral emphysema. So I am very curious. Is bilateral emphysema serious?Doctor's answer:
Double lung emphysema can affect lung function. In some severe cases, it may lead to relatively poor lung function, causing symptoms such as chest tightness and shortness of breath after exercise. However, a cold can trigger coughing and phlegm again. If symptoms are not controlled for a long time, it may also affect the heart, leading to pulmonary artery hypertension and ultimately resulting in pulmonary heart disease. Therefore, active treatment and control are essential, and it is important to strengthen physical fitness in daily life.
