My mom was diagnosed with tuberculosis last year and after nine months of medicine, she's finally tested negative, which is such a relief. There was also a suspicion of ILD before she got TB, but no treatment was started for that because the focus was on the TB. Now that TB is under control, her chest HRCT was done. I'm sending it over for you to take a look. Can you give me some advice on her health and what the next steps should be for her treatment?

Suspected ILD, review with CT chest report with pulmonologist is advised to the patient.

I'm experiencing some shortness of breath, especially when I'm trying to go to sleep at night. It wakes me up and I find myself needing to wait to catch my breath before I can settle down again. It's been going on for about 3 years now and sometimes it's accompanied by bloating, burping, and farting. I notice the shortness of breath can also happen with panic or loud noises around me. I've tried different medicines over time but they only seem to help temporarily. I'm really curious to know what could be causing this and what might actually help. What do you think I should do?
