The respiratory passage and alveolar sacs collapses, thereby causing difficulty in breathing. Asthma, chronic bronchitis and bronchiectasis are some of the commonly seen emphysema symptoms. Wheezing and shortness of breath, due to the alveolar collapse is also seen to occur. Mix garlic juice with raw vegetable juice for effective results.
