Question

I've been feeling really sleepy all day even though I get a good night's sleep. My parents have mentioned that my breathing stops for a few seconds while I'm asleep, and I also have a snoring problem. Could these things be related to why I'm so tired? What might be causing it?

Question

I'm feeling a bit unsure about my diagnosis and the treatment I've been prescribed. I've been told I have ILD and IPF, specifically idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis Stage I, and my doctor has suggested taking Acetylcysteine 600 mg effervescent tablets for the IPF. Do you think this is the right approach? Could it really help with the phlegm I'm experiencing in my nose and throat? Just wanting to make sure I'm on the right track here.

I'm really worried about my mom. She seems to have some sort of lung issue because she's feeling fatigued a lot and has trouble breathing even just walking short distances or using the stairs. She had pleural effusion about three years ago, and now the symptoms seem to be coming back. Can you suggest what tests she should get to figure out what's going on?
