Your bronchial walls can slowly get thicker because of inflammation and infections. Both of these things keep mucus from draining the way it should. That extra mucus can trap bacteria, causing more infections, scarring, and thickening. Over time, your lungs have to work harder to breathe.

pulmonary fibrosis is a lung disease that occurs when lung tissue becomes damaged and scarred. This thickened, stiff tissue makes it more difficult for your lungs to work properly. As pulmonary fibrosis worsens, you become progressively more short of breath.

Hello doctor, hope you are doing well! I am writing to seek your help and consultation in my grandmother’s case. She has been admitted to a hospital in bathinda for treatment on 15th february 2020 right after she collapsed. After consultation with 3 different doctors, we are transferring her from one hospital to another. First doctor told us that she has fluid in her lungs and she needs oxygen, so he referred her to a private hospital to put her on ventilator. She was on ventilator for 2 days, then after ct scan that doctor referred her to another doctor who is a lungs specialist. He removed her from ventilation and put her in icu. While she was in icu, she had paralysis attack at night on 17th february 2020. Doctors told us that situation is under control, but she does’t look fine. They are feeding her through pipe. The doctors in bathinda shifted her to the normal ward and last night she had great difficulty in breathing. We live in malout (punjab) and I believe that frequent travelling is causing her harm. I really trust the doctors in pgimr and I just need your opinion on the reports we have, as we believe that we are being misled.

They are very natural.
But in such cases reports only are not enough and actual patient examination is very much required.
Better consult a local doctor for second opinion.

But its advised only to people who can not leave vaping or hookah or smoking. Dhooma chikitsa was in vogue in Ayurved era of the past but with herbs for health benefits. We also had certain experiments in the past with Beedi smoking people by replacing herbs for medicinal effects and people got relief in bronchial ailments. Tob...more
