Inadequate oxygen levels can lead to an increase in the number of circulating red blood cells in the body. It is the red blood cells, specifically hemoglobin, that transport oxygen throughout the body. This proliferation (large numbers of the red blood cells, known as polycythemia), is the body's way of attempting to deliver more oxygen to the tissues and cells. In some individuals, the increased volume of circulating red blood cells can cause blood clots, headaches, and elevated blood pressure.

Music therapy can be more than just calming, it may also help support breath control, relaxation, and breathing awareness for people living with Alpha-1.

For some, tools like harmonicas can be used as part of breathing-focused music therapy because they encourage controlled inhale and exhale patterns.

This is a good defense mechanism under certain circumstances. Let's say you have normal lungs and you inhale a peanut and it lodges in one of your bronchial tubes, blocking off the movement of air into and out of that part of the lung. In response to the very low oxygen in that area, the lung's blood vessels would constrict so that particular area of the lung would essentially be shut down.

The problem in diseases like emphysema is that the low oxygen levels aren't localized to a particular part of the lung, they're all over. So all the vessels of the lung tend to constrict when the lung disease of Alpha-1 gets severe enough to cause low oxygen levels.
