@A MyCOPDTeam Member Wellcome. If you search here for people having alpha1-antitrypsine, you may look at the icon "Meet Others" and by selecting 'COPD' and type "alpha1".
Take care, hugs 🌺

Hello LEE. Others have reported the A1-T issues before but are not around much anymore. Most here just have the "garden-variety" COPD from smoking. And other (non-related) stuff.

Since A1-T is hereditary, you probably already have clues from (an)other family member(s). Younger age is a give-away is too. 😎 The site below will give you more insight on managing the A1-T by itself: https://alpha1.org/about-alpha-1-treatment/
Come back here (IF) any time you need more tips on the Respiratory stuff.
be Well.
