Best I’ve seen about this disease. My husband diagnosed 18 months ago. He basically just watches tv and not other bad probs. But if he walks like 100 feet air drops quick heart rate 145. So we don’t know what to expect. But this was very helpful. Ofev hit his liver and kidneys had to stop taking it. Lung transplant not an option. Hugs to all ppl and caregivers dealing with this
My mother was dignoised with Pulmonary Fibrosis in 2021 and she died in June 2024. She fought bravely against this disease. My condolence with all who died by this disease.

Hi, thanks for the question. There is insufficient evidence to suggest you are at an increased risk of developing pulmonary fibrosis if you have thyroid/adrenal issues. Pulmonary fibrosis may impact your cardiac function. For example, cause arrhythmias.
Hello doc i have minimal pulmonary fibrosis, i know my condition only this month and this year. I’m 32 years old. Can you help me what i take medicine and how many months to take medicine? Thank you and god bless! What do you think my minimal pulmonary fibrosis is going to healing soon or not? Thank you and god bless
Good night I did a CT Scan, a Pulmonary Full Test, a Blood Test, a Chest Xray. Presently no conclusion, but my CT scan has leaned to Interstitual Lung Disease. All I'm trying to do, is just get a better idea, what's wrong?
There is no obvious link between food and pulmonary fibrosis development as far as I am aware. However, a 'BRAT diet' is recommended for people with pulmonary fibrosis.
I have pulmonary fibrosis since 20 years old,until now im still active with my exercise work out.but it always appear in my exray result as minimal pulmonary fibrosis,please advice me how to do the teatment
You should have had a CT scan and lung function tests to assess it further and referred to a respiratory physician for specifically tailored advice/treatment based on clinical assessment and results. Continue to lead a healthy, active lifestyle.
Hopefully you can get treatment in time. I have had it for several years and getting more short winded but not smoking now getting better. I want some type of treatment.
I was diagnosed 2017 IPF but i had sjogren syndrome 2005 . I been taking lung cough tonic when i have cough i bought health shop same with mullen capsules n if i can buy sea moss the red gel. It helps for me not like 2018 i feel terrible. I had steroids 2018 i had side effect crush my bone. Im happy the that im taking that i bought in health shop n feel better than before. In the morning i do lung exercise 15 minutes n everyday i did some walking.
My husband died from this seven years ago. He lived five years after his diagnosis. He even had a lung transplant, but the disease ruined that as well.
I was diagnosed with fibrosis on the right apex after having a chest x-ray. But the doctor says it is just a scar and no need to worry. Should I seek another opinion? Why the doctor take it lightly?
If your X-ray is suggesting fibrosis then you will need to be under the respiratory team (specialist) who will likely arrange further diagnostic imaging to further assess this. However, sometimes a 'scar' can be caused after a chest infection and can get better with time- a repeat x-ray is usually done in 6 weeks or so to monitor. Hope this helps.
Kindly answer my questions sir.I am 19 year old girl.In my hrct,fibrosis noticed in right lung middle lobe and lingula.No prior lung abnormalities and diseases so far except this fibrosis is mentioned. Is this kind of scarring curable
My nephew had chronic cough for years. After 2 bronchoscopy with biopsy, his team of doctors diagnosed and treated him for chronic pneumonia and lung consolidation. 6 months now and still with cough and low oxygen. Now he has new dr and did not rule out ILD . Aren't those 2 bronchoscopy, biopsy and numerous ct scans not enough to diagnose him with ILD if he has it? Bec their findings is chronic pneumonia. Btw his cough is with phlegm all the time not dry. But im still worried about fibrosis.
last month i have cough,,then im taking more capsules such us guafenisin brcause i have a phlegm,,wth in two weeks past,after two weeks,im okey,, at month of january,,then ds now month of feb.i have a cough again,starting yesterday,so doc what can i do for now,,
