Yes, emphysema can lead to weakness in a person due to the reduced efficiency of the lungs to exchange oxygen and remove carbon dioxide, resulting in decreased physical stamina and fatigue. The condition can also cause muscle wasting and weight loss over time, further contributing to overall weakness. Additionally, the effort required to breathe can lead to exhaustion, making it difficult for individuals to engage in regular activities.

Why are people with emphysema more weak then others?

Emphysema is a long-term, progressive disease of the lungs that primarily causes shortness of breath due to over-inflation of the alveoli (air sacs in the lung). In people with emphysema, the lung tissue involved in exchange of gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide) is impaired or destroyed. Emphysema is included in a group of diseases called chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or COPD (pulmonary refers to the lungs). Emphysema is called an obstructive lung disease because airflow on exhalation is slowed or stopped because over-inflated alveoli do not exchange gases when a person breaths due to little or no movement of gases out of the alveoli.

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.
