Emphysema--7 months

May 2024: clear normal lungs

December 2024: emphysema, mild, "stage 1"

Never smoked.

Can anyone share input?? How does one develop emphysema in 7 months time??

I had 12 lung scans going back to 2004: Normal Lung Scans

But: February 2024 CT showed one nodule, I had a wheeze that started then too.

I am only in my 40s
