A member asked:
Paraseptal emphysema in upper lobes, what are consequences/treatmen?taken 3 ct scans, a ctpa over 4 years.symptoms started after h1n1 vaccination
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Coincidence: Paraseptal emphysema is caused by particulate pollution from combustion of organic materials (tobacco, diesel fumes, woodstoves, etc.). If you have emphysema, it makes it that much more important to get your flu shot every year, so don't blame this on the flu shot. Consequences depend on whether you continue to be exposed to the causative agent, typically cigarettes.
