I have mild emphysema without treatment do you know how fast it can progress i don't have insurance but i do seem to get out of breath really easy?

Not just mild: If you only have mild emphysema you should not get out of breath easily At your age, unless you are very obese you should have a lot of breathing reserve. Causes for your breathing are accompanying other lung disease (asthma, thickening in the lung) or a heart problem. Stay away from places and from activities where you get short of breath. Find a MD or clinic that will work with your budget.

Severe!: This is very dangerous at your age! YOU MUST SEE A LUNG SPECIALIST! Ask for alpha one antitrypsin level. No reason to delay. Good luck
