View allI'm really worried about my husband. After having COVID, he's been diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis, and his CT scan shows about 40-50% damage. Is there a better treatment available for this condition, and is it possible for him to fully recover? What complications should we be prepared for? He's currently using oxygen support at night, and his SpO2 level is around 93. How long might it take for him to improve?

I'm having these weird episodes where I feel short of breath, even after just drinking or eating small amounts. It's been going on for about a week or so. Could this have anything to do with my weight? I'm around 85 kg now, but back in 2016 when I weighed 87 kg, I didn't experience this. Do you have any idea what might be happening?
Shortness of breath after eating or drinking, even in small amounts, can be related to factors like acid reflux, digestive issues, or even weight-related pressure on the diaphragm. Its important to check with a doctor to rule out underlying conditions, especially if its been persistent for a week or more. Your weight could play a role, but other causes need to be explored.

My dad was diagnosed with sarcoidosis after a prostate biopsy, and he had a high ACE level. He's been on 32 mg of prednisolone for about two months now, but we haven't noticed any improvement. He's also taking clarithromycine, forcan, and augmentin because of high neutrophil counts. Im really concerned and just wondering, does it sound like hes on the right treatment plan? Any advice would be really appreciated.
yes the treatment is correct
