Short Bio |
I was a heavy smoker in my younger years, & when I learned Medicare would pay for a lung scan, I asked to have one. A subsequent scan indicated possible PF. I was referred to a pulmonologist (had to wait 6 mos for an appt due to Covid demand), who ordered a high resolution scan. That revealed, mild, stable PF. He prescribed Symbicort 80/4.5, with an extruder 2x daily. Other than shortness of breath & fatigue, my symptoms have been mild. I think the Symbicort has eased the fatigue. I sleep more deeply.
