Alpha-1 is most often misdiagnosed as COPD and Asthma. The usual diagnosis is 7 years and 3-4 Doctors. If you have COPD or Asthma or a history of a family member who died from emphysema you might want to educate yourself on this disease. To learn more, do an internet search for "Alpha-1 Foundation".
