I'm really worried because I've been dealing with ILD for the past two years. It's made breathing really tough and I've got this persistent cough that won't go away. I'm currently taking Mucinac and Pirfenex tabs. Could you help me understand if there's anything else I should be doing or taking to manage these symptoms better?

It sounds like you're managing ILD with Mucinac and Pirfenex, which help with mucus clearance and lung function. Breathing issues and persistent coughing are common in ILD, so it's important to follow up regularly with your doctor to monitor your condition and adjust treatments as needed. If your symptoms worsen, let your healthcare provider know.

View allI'm having some trouble with taking deep breaths and sometimes I feel like I'm suffocating. My heart rate's also been higher than usual, and this has been going on for over 3 years. What could be going on with me? Should I be worried about this?

My mom's dealing with some serious breathing issues. She was hospitalized with a chest infection and her lungs are all bloated. They found pseudomonas in her blood culture and she was on Pepar IV three times a day for 10 days, plus steroids, Budamate, and Duolin nebulizers. Even after all that, she's still having trouble breathing and the infections getting worse. After she was discharged, they put her on Linezolid 600 for five days, but it didn't help. Now they've suggested we keep an oxygen cylinder at home because of her breathing problems. Is there anything we can do to keep her oxygen level above 90 without the cylinder at home? Shes also dealing with CKD, thyroid issues, diabetes, and vasculitis. She's currently on a bunch of meds like Pulmoclear, Montair Fx, MMF, Wyslone, Amlip, Aztor, Human Actrapid, Lantus, Erythropoietin, Budamate inhaler, and Dytor. Any guidance would be really appreciated.

My mom was treated for COVID at Apollo, and we asked the doctor to discharge her while she was still on 2 liters of oxygen. After a few days at home, I managed to reduce the oxygen to 1 liter, but now I'm noticing something concerning. Her SPO2 levels are showing around 92-93, and her pulse rate is between 105-120. Could you give me some advice about this situation? It has me a bit worried.
