70 year old just had afib attack and chest x-ray shows pulmonary fibrosis. on blood thinners and meds to slow heart rate. panicking looking at the prognosis stats for pf. hoping its not as dire as online shows?

Understandable anxiety, there are many types of pulmonary fibrosis, pulmonary function tests and further imaging will likely be needed, the pulmonary specialist will remain your best reference going forward, abstain from further internet searches until more is known.
