Question 1

I'm really concerned about my dad. He's dealing with ILD and I've noticed lately that he keeps mentioning a constant feeling of nausea. He doesn't want to eat and feels like throwing up just by looking at food. Could this be because of the fibrodone tablets he's taking, like six a day? Would love some insights on this.

Accepted Answer

yes it is a side-effect of tablet fibrodone

Question 2

I've been dealing with chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis, and lately, I've noticed some changes. My oxygen level sticks around 96-98, which is pretty normal for me, but a month ago, I got hit with COVID. During that time, I was mostly coughing with phlegm and felt really tired, but not much else. Now that I've recovered from COVID, I'm still feeling really worn out. I'm having a dry cough about 6-7 times a day, which never happened to me before, and my chest hurts a bit when I yawn. Plus, I've started feeling a bit of difficulty in breathing that lasts for 3-5 seconds. I used to be perfectly fine before all this. Any idea what's going on?

Accepted Answer

Question 3

I'm dealing with pleural effusion and some thickening of the pleura. I've been on FDC medication for pulmonary Koch's for about 14 months now. I'm worried because it's affecting my medical test for a job abroad. What can I do in this situation, and is there a way to manage or improve the test results despite my condition?
