Emphysema Environment07/21/2008 |
Is there an area in the U.S. where a person with emphysema would benefit from less pollen, humidity etc? ie where is the best place to live if you have emphysema?
Some people may do better with a drier climate, such as Arizona. However, how an emphysema patient does in different climates and living environments is very individualized.
