I'm really concerned about this thing that's been happening to me at night. When I'm just about to fall asleep or sometimes even in the middle of the night, I'll wake up gasping for air. It's really frightening. I'm taking Olzole right now for my heartburn and gas, and I'm trying to figure out if what I'm experiencing might be sleep apnea or is it just because of my GERD acting up. It used to happen before but not as often as it does now. Could you help me understand what's going on?

View allI'm really worried because I've been dealing with ILD for the past two years. It's made breathing really tough and I've got this persistent cough that won't go away. I'm currently taking Mucinac and Pirfenex tabs. Could you help me understand if there's anything else I should be doing or taking to manage these symptoms better?
It sounds like you're managing ILD with Mucinac and Pirfenex, which help with mucus clearance and lung function. Breathing issues and persistent coughing are common in ILD, so it's important to follow up regularly with your doctor to monitor your condition and adjust treatments as needed. If your symptoms worsen, let your healthcare provider know.

How can I check my lungs at home?
At home, you may check your lungs functioning with an instrument named "Peak Flow meter". It is a small hand held device, when you blow air into it, it calculates the lung capacity and expansion. Spirometer is another instrument which helps in similar way in lung assessment and additionally it also has therapeutic usage. You may check oxygenation level by "Pulse Oximeter" which gives indirect clue on lung damage but keep in mind there are other medical conditions which may affect pulse oximeter readings.
