I'm really worried about ILD and whether it's curable or not. I've read online that people with ILD only live for about 3 to 5 years. Is that true? Is there anything specific I can do to help manage this disease? Id really appreciate any advice or remedies you can suggest.

View allI'm really worried about my Bronco pneumonia. I've had it since I was a kid, and I've heard different things from different doctors. Some say it's due to allergies and might get better with time, while others feel the weather where I live isnt right for me. I even moved to see if that would help, but I'm still having asthma problems. Anytime I get a little cold, the coughing starts and my asthma flares up. I've been using Asthalin to manage it. Do I have to live with this for the rest of my life? Is there anything else I could try or look into?

I've been trying so hard to quit smoking and just decided to finally kick the habit. I stumbled onto something online about lung wash procedures that apparently help clear out the tar in the lungs from smoking. Does anyone know where I can get a regular lung wash done in Gurgaon? I'm really curious if this could help me breathe better.

I'm experiencing some shortness of breath, especially when I'm trying to go to sleep at night. It wakes me up and I find myself needing to wait to catch my breath before I can settle down again. It's been going on for about 3 years now and sometimes it's accompanied by bloating, burping, and farting. I notice the shortness of breath can also happen with panic or loud noises around me. I've tried different medicines over time but they only seem to help temporarily. I'm really curious to know what could be causing this and what might actually help. What do you think I should do?
take tablet pantop and start steam inhalation
