Fibrosis Pulmonary Fibrosis is a serious and progressive lung disease caused by scarring of the alveoli (air sacs) in the lungs. Over time, this scarring leads to difficulty breathing and a decrease in oxygen levels in the body. The most common symptoms of Pulmonary Fibrosis include shortness of breath, dry cough, fatigue and an increased heart rate. The exact cause of the disease is unknown, but it is believed to be linked to environmental factors such as prolonged exposure to asbestos and air pollutants, certain medications, and infections. There is no cure for Pulmonary Fibrosis, however, treatments such as oxygen therapy and medications can help to improve quality of life. In more advanced cases, a lung transplant may be required. Pulmonary Fibrosis is a serious condition that can have a significant impact on daily life, and it is important for those affected to seek medical treatment as early as possible.
