No. I started smoking cigars 20 years ago on the golf course. I was an athelit. I have not smoked in a year.. I had shortness of breath specially since the surgery. I had larengitis on the day of surgery and was coughing. Maybe they shouldnt have operated. I'm at the clinic now because I have a lot of pain on my left back side and thought it could be heart related. My oxygen level is at 100%, the doctor listened to my chest and back and cleared. The EKG is perfect. They are going to do another CT scan. Will see.

Mainly emphysema is caused by smoking so that's most likely the cause for yours. Do you have any overweight problems?
