I'm really concerned about my breathing issues because I've been diagnosed with Interstitial Lung Disease and it's causing a lot of flare-ups. Could you help me understand what Usual Interstitial Pneumonia is? How can I manage or prevent these flare-ups in my lungs? I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed and would really appreciate some advice.

I've quit smoking about two months back, and after about a week, I started experiencing some uncomfortable symptoms like chest pain, coughing, insomnia, and really intense dreams. I also find it hard to swallow and sometimes feel short of breath. Is this normal, or should I be worried?

I'm in my 7th month of yb treatment, and I've had some allergy issues. My doctor gave me budamate with lupihalet, but ever since I started them, my breathing feels worse. Earlier, breathing wasn't much of a problem, and I had foracort inhalet at home, but I never really needed to use it. I'm also on Rcinex 600 for my TB. Can you help me figure out what's going on?
