Living with Pulmonary Fibrosis | Trenton UT

What is Pulmonary Fibrosis?

Pulmonary fibrosis is a lifelong lung disease. PF occurs when there is scarring in the lungs that makes the lung tissues stiff. This leads to complications in breathing. You may have also heard someone refer to it as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. IPF is simply one of the types of PF, it is referred to when no cause has been found. Causes of PF include certain medications and medical procedures, exposure to hazardous materials, family history, and possibly other diseases. 

Are you living with pulmonary fibrosis in Trenton UT? Living with pulmonary fibrosis is complicated and often emotional. Even if you don’t live with PF, you may know someone who does. Fortunately there are many ways to help relieve the obstacles that those with PF face. To better care for them it’s important to understand their needs. 

PF & IPF Common Treatments & Management

Pulmonary Fibrosis does not have a cure. There are, however, several treatment options that can relieve symptoms and slow the course of the disease. Those with the most common form of PF, IPF, may have drug options that can slow the disease’s progression. Other treatments like oxygen therapy are best combined with pulmonary rehabilitation. A patient with PF may even be eligible for a lung transplant. Healthy habits that those with PF may implement at home to manage symptoms include:

  • Keeping away from tobacco
  • Participating in regular exercise
  • Implementing a healthy diet
  • Taking precautions to avoid the flu and cold
