Guest guest Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 Mike You say that exertion leads to panting and coughing. That sure sounds like a shortage of oxygen to me. Have you checked your oxygen saturation levels at those times? If not, I'd strongly recommend doing so. > > Hello, > I'm new, 67, and have been diagnosed (open lung biopsy) since 2004 with advanced IPF and hypersensitivity pneumonitis. I do respond to prednisone, now also on Cytoxin and some inhalers. No O2 yet. I do light activity most the time without a problem but exertion leads to panting and coughing, mold exposure is the worst reaction. Any information from others is so very welcome. I am a retired RN. OB was my area so no help to me now. In fairly good spirits most the time and live now in St. , Utah. > ann > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
