There is no known cure for pulmonary fibrosis, but effective treatments are available. Commonly prescribed treatments include oxygen therapy, pulmonary rehabilitation, medication, symptom management, and, less often, lung transplantation. Not all PF treatments are appropriate for everyone; your doctor will determine the best course of treatment for you. Treatments for PF are aimed at slowing the course of the disease, improving symptoms, and helping you stay active. | Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundati

The most common symptoms of pulmonary fibrosis are dry, persistent cough, shortness of breath, and fatigue. It’s often a “progressive” disease, which means that it worsens over time. As PF progresses, patients may become breathless while taking part in everyday activities, such as showering, getting dressed, speaking on the phone, or even eating. | Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation
