Short Bio

I had a chest x-ray that showed probably PF in September of 2022. Followed by a CT (regular CT) that showed compatibility with interstitial fibrosis.  I had been in Colorado on vacation and developed low blood oxygen and had trouble walking even a short distance.  This was all new.  However I had COVID in January – very chest affected and then another virus that affected my chest in May Bad cough with both.  Even though Fully vaxed and boosted.  Since returning to FL – MUCH better as soon as I returned to normal altitude.  F/U CT last week shows periferal subpleural reticulation non specific pattern.  I have a Follow-up CT in 5 months.  I feel well.  My pulmonologist doesn’t seem concerned.  I just don’t know..waiting for clarity.
