Best Answer

During the usual course of emphysema, a person who has never had seizures before will not have any seizures. A person could or might have a seizure if they experience a severe impairment in the ability to breathe--such as if they contracted pneumonia on top of the emphysema--and had even less O2. But generally, emphysema is just a chronic lung disease characterized by inflammation, increased phlegm and coughing, and impaired gas exchange.
