A member asked:
Could anyone help me i was diagnosed with emphysema, now i found out it is paraseptal emphysema. what is the difference?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not much: The term "paraseptal" is just an anatomical location. Don't worry too much about it. Now that you have the diagnosis, make sure you stop smoking if you still smoke and get treatment. There are a lot of great treatments and life can be lives fully. Don't lose hope. Emphysema is NOT a death sentence.
