I can tolerate doing exercises. I walk at least 30mins a day (but just relatively slow walking due to my painful feet), then I rest my feet for a while, then do the stationary bicycle for another 30 minutes. When I do this, I dont gasp for air.

How can you be tested for Alpha-1 Antitripsin?
Thank you.
