What Are The Symptoms of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF)

When you have Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF), you may find yourself becoming more short of breath or having a dry cough. You may notice you cannot do your usual activities without shortness of breath.

You may feel the need to slow down or stop and rest when walking, or it may become difficult for you to walk up inclines or climb stairs because of shortness of breath.

Your healthcare provider may notice the oxygen levels in your blood drop when you walk. Lower than normal blood oxygen levels can cause high blood pressure in your lungs (called pulmonary hypertension).
