The most common symptoms of pulmonary fibrosis are dry, persistent cough, shortness of breath, and fatigue. It’s often a “progressive” disease, which means that it worsens over time. As PF progresses, patients may become breathless while taking part in everyday activities, such as showering, getting dressed, speaking on the phone, or even eating. | Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation

No one can tell you how long you will live with pulmonary fibrosis. You may have seen estimates online that people with the disease will live 3-5 years. Thanks to early diagnosis and better treatments, this statistic is outdated. | Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation
