I am on long term oxygen for emphysema and am awaiting tests for the pulmonary fibrosis. I wondered what symptons people get with p.f.
Thanks
Symptoms include:
Shortness of breath, particularly during exercise.
Dry, hacking cough.
Fast, shallow breathing.
Gradual unintended weight loss.
Tiredness.
Aching joints and muscles.
Clubbing (widening and rounding) of the tips of the fingers or toes.
If you turn out to have it, be sure to talk with your doc about what you can do for yourself to maintain your level of functioning.
Thankyou
