Explaining the causes for the
Explaining the causes for the most common symptoms patients experience when having pulmonary fibrosis: breathlessness and cough.
Both shortness of breath and coughing can be caused directly by the pulmonary fibrosis (lung scarring). However, these symptoms can also be linked to other causes as well, which sometimes require separate treatments. For example, cough may be also related to untreated acid reflux, postnasal drip, asthma etc. Breathlessness may be linked to heart failure, pulmonary hypertension or blood clots causing a pulmonary embolism.
Treating symptoms in pulmonary fibrosis generally requires a holistic approach, where several conditions need to be treated at the same time.
I encourage you to talk to your healthcare team about all your medical problems and how they tie in to pulmonary fibrosis care in your case.
