Question 1

I'm really worried about my dad because he's dealing with pulmonary fibrosis and is on fibrodone tablets, six a day. Lately, he's been having some rough side effectslike bad headaches, feeling like he might vomit, and he's just not hungry at all. Plus, he's on oxygen for about 15 to 16 hours every day. I checked online and saw that these might be side effects from the meds. Is it okay if he takes a break from these tablets until he feels a bit better? Are there other options out there instead of this medication? What could happen if he stops taking it for some time?

Your mother's condition, known as sleep-related hypoxemia, may be related to obesity-hypoventilation syndrome (OHS) or sleep apnea, given her weight and age; consider consulting a pulmonologist or sleep specialist for a thorough evaluation, including a sleep study, and potential treatments like continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy, oxygen supplementation, or weight loss strategies to improve her oxygen levels and overall health.
