Pneumonia itself does not directly cause emphysema, but repeated or severe lung infections, including pneumonia, can contribute to lung damage over time. Emphysema is primarily caused by long-term exposure to irritants, such as cigarette smoke or air pollution, which lead to the destruction of the alveoli. However, chronic respiratory issues stemming from recurrent pneumonia can exacerbate existing lung conditions or make individuals more susceptible to developing emphysema. Thus, while there is no direct causation, there can be an indirect relationship in certain cases.

Can having emphysema cause seizures?
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.
What does a falling blood pH and a rising partial pressure of carbon dioxide due to pneumonia or emphysema indicate?
Pneumonia will cause decreased oxygenation to tissues resulting in a raise of carbon dioxide. To understand the answer you need to understand the balance of pH and Bicarb. When the carbon dioxide raises the Bicarb reacts and levels fall; therefore, you have compensated respiratory acidosis.

Lungs can be irritated by pollutants and toxins like dust, pollen and mold. This can cause decrease of oxygen intake and can cause a disease known as emphysema.
