Wondering if?

Hello everyone I have a few questions and possible concerns. I have been in the cable industry for about 15 yrs. last year I left work due to back issues breathing issues, fatigue. For over six months now I have been in and out of various doctors, hospitals etc. copd yes emphysema yes , also nodules on my lungs luckily as of six months ago not cancerous. Things are only health wise getting worse. I am and have been a smoker of 20 + yrs  so I just figured my smoking caught up with me. My concerns is that 2 diff pulmonary dr have told me the nodules are probably environmental not from smoking of course the smoking makes everything worse. I can no longer run 25yds without being out of breath. I have coughing fits that lead to passing out.(syncope) . Please any of you who work in the industry protect yourself in attics, crawlspaces etc.. And newbies educate yourselves I started as a contractor with promises of$$$$$ not adequate training on safety and I fear I am starting to pay the price.
