Ipf: Interstitial pulmonary fibrosis can be treated with immunosuppressants, he probably will need to see a pulmonologist at a large referral center, they probably know of ongoing studies on the topic and can guide his treatment.

Good morning. My symptoms are slight labored breathing when laying down, slight chest heaviness on right lung. No fever, no cough, no sore throat. I can do daily activities fine, but just overall chest discomfort. No pain when exhale/inhale.
