Hi @Charlene!
My mom is taking oxygen supplement 24/7 these days and we’re making her walk for few minutes every day but some days it’s very difficult to walk even with oxygen, she started to cough a lot so we’re very confused whether we should make her walk in such condition? At the same time we’re afraid she might not be able to do her daily activities if we just put her in rest. So we’re very confused what to do. Please suggest me if you know something about it.
Warm regards,
Reshma

Hi Charlene,
We’re now giving her oxygen almost all the time. We bought an electric Oxy-Med which is working fine and the doctor has increased the no.of medicine that she needs to take everyday. Now she’s precribed to take 3 Prifinex 3 times a day. Hope her condition improves in coming days. Thank you so much for your information. We appreciate it alot ?

Thank you @charlene for the information. My mom is now taking oxygen at home but as soon as we take out the oxygen her saturation drops. So is it okay to give her oxygen all the time? Also even if she walks and do some light activities inside the house she gets very exhausted and her shortness of breath increases. But the doctor has advised to make her physically active. What should we do in this condition? Should we make her walk or do some light activities even though she has shortness of breath?

Hello
I see that Gebapentin has worked for many patients but is it available everywhere in the world? We’re from Nepal and my mom has been suffering from chronic cough a lot these days. Her oxygen level is dropping and we’re giving her oxygen at home. So if anyone can plz tell me the availability of this medicine and also what’s the average level of oxygen for the IPF patient? And till which level we don’t need to be afraid?

@jaimeluciano
Thank you for the info Jaime. Are Flamex and codeine different medicines? And do we need prescription from the doctor for these medicines?

Hello, I want to know what can an IPF patient do to get rid of coughing? Or at least minimize it? My mom has been taking medicines like Emsolone, Lucast and Lormeg but they are not helping her. Can anyone please suggest anything? Any kind of advice would be a great help.

Hello Charlene..
As you said higher CO2 level is dangerous for the patients with lung disease and they should avoid such foods. Can you please give us some examples of food with high CO2 that the patients should avoid? Thank you.
