Answer
Hello Lynn,

You have quite a bit going on and would need more details. This would require a consult due to the medications and type of health issues.
I would consider Co Q 10 50.
Are their lung issues going on? Are you haveing a hard time breathing. I need more information.
I would do Cordycepts, Mullein and Chinese Lung Support to strenghten the lungs and help with breathing issues.
For Emphysema suggested therapies are:
1. Antioxidants - I suggest Thai Go
2. Super Foods - I suggest Ultimate Green Zone
3. Essential Fatty acids - I suggest Super Omega 3
4. Stress managment
5. Heavy metal detoxification

I would see if sleep apnea is the issue. I do offer phone and in office consults.

Sorry this has taken so long as I have been at an herb conference.
