Get check your lung: There are several factors, too few yrs smoking to developed serious disease but some people can developed lung damage earlier if exposed to other hazards as fumes, etc also a protein deficiency can predisposed to emphysema even without smoking ( is a genetic disease). Then get a lung doctor.
