I have hiatus hernia which showed up in an abdominal CT shortly after my IPF diagnosis. My pulmonologist recommends eating 3 hrs before bed time and using a wedge pillow to sleep. I took Omneprazole 40mg for some time and later stopped taking it when i was found osteoopenic in the Bone density scan and had a stress fracture on my hips.

What is the criteria for lung transplant? Do we have to be really sick to qualify for that?
