I have been getting breathless and nearly collapsed after climbing 2 flights of stairs. . My chest is very tight . I am getting concerned it could be IPF. I had a pulmonary embolism in 2016.
Hi Lizzie:
It could be IPF but it could be several other things too. You obviously should see your Doctor and/or your lung specialist if you have access to one. If you are really concerned, you should head to your local Emergency Department. Without more information, it is difficult and would be wrong of members of this Forum to jump to any conclusion. Please stay in touch once you have sought medical advice and have some answers. Good luck.
Hi Bob. Thanks for your reply. I think I will make appointment with my GP first. Hopefully it is just anxiety. Will definitely keep you posted.
