Pulmonary Fibrosis Does THIS to Your Lungs

Pulmonary fibrosis is a lung disease that causes scarring and thickening of the lung tissue, making it difficult for the lungs to function properly. This scarring can lead to a decrease in lung capacity and difficulty in breathing. Over time, the lungs become stiff and less flexible, making it harder for oxygen to pass into the bloodstream. This can result in symptoms such as shortness of breath, coughing, and fatigue. Unfortunately, there is currently no cure for pulmonary fibrosis, and treatment options focus on managing symptoms and slowing the progression of the disease.
