I am a 40 year old female. I had ASD correction for hole in my heart as a child. They say I still have a small hole. Recently I have been diagnosed with moderate emphesema. This is because I have the atitripsin gene. They have said to me recently that they want to start me on 12-15 hours a day. I am very worried and scared about the thought of this. Can anyone settle my fears. I need some hope. Is anyone in a similar situation to me and tell me what to expect?
Thanks
