The first thing I’d do is find another pulmonologist. Than get on either of the medications.

Best wishes,,,😃

There are times when I have problems speaking out loud,so I have to whisper. This happens when I have a coughing fit. I have to assume I don’t have enough air in my lungs to exhale when speaking.
Has anyone else experinced this?

My voice seems to be changing,although this may be an unrelated issue.

Thanks,,

Hi terri,

I’ve been on 100mg ofev for 6 years with no problems. An occasional upset stomach that would last

maybe 15 min,but other than that nothing. You may do very well on it,good luck.

Hi Margaret,

Thank you for the info and hoping all is well with you today. I did have bronchitis a while back,but now I think it is the progressing IPF. A deep breath triggers a cough but honey helps.

Thanks again..

Hello All,I’m new to the forum so hopefully this is right place for this post.

I was diagnosed awhile back with IPF but have been symptom free since.I recently developed a cough that I assumed was the dreaded IPF cough.It came on in a matter of a day or two which surprised me.
My dr.prescribed 10 days of Augmentin to rule out bronchitis.
