What is Pulmonary Fibrosis?

A disease where the lungs become stiff from repeated damage. Causes include autoimmune disease (where the immune system attacks the body), medications, genetic abnormalities, and fine particle dust. There may not be symptoms initially, but most patients develop a dry cough and breathlessness as the condition worsens.

Typical Symptoms of Pulmonary Fibrosis

Diagnostic Questions for Pulmonary Fibrosis

Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:

  • Have you been diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension?
  • Does your cough get worse with exercise?
  • Have you ever been diagnosed with a connective tissue, autoimmune, or rheumatic disease?
  • Do you cough frequently?
  • Are your fingertips swollen like drumsticks?

Treatment of Pulmonary Fibrosis

Unfortunately, this condition cannot be reversed. Treatment focuses on slowing lung scarring and improving lung function through exercises. In severe cases, breathing oxygen at home or lung transplants may be advised.
