[|AI|]  Hi thanks for contacting Chat Doctor.... You might have habit of smoking that lead such emphysema changes .... If no smoking look for diagnosis of alpha 1 antitrypsin deficiency by PCR test ..... For emphysema according to symptom management can be decided .PFT needed to evaluate lung function and management ... You might need ipratropium bromide like bronchodilator inhaler. ...
