3. Weight loss will occur with pulmonary fibrosis.
Since your lungs are diseased, it may cause you to be unable to swallow. When this occurs, it will be difficult to eat. If you do eat, you will still lose weight for no apparent reason. Whenever you see food, it may make you feel sick. Since you have pulmonary fibrosis, the sickness feeling will remain. It is not good for your health to lose too much weight and especially if the loss of weight can’t be controlled.
Your doctor may give you a medication, along with pulmonary fibrosis medications to help with your appetite. If it’s difficult to swallow, the doctor will suggest eating softer foods, such as applesauce, tuna salad, and oatmeal.
You’ll need to start living a healthy life when you have pulmonary fibrosis, such as walking and eating healthy. You’ll soon be able to live your life as normal as possible.
