Kathleen, yes I had a persistent cough that would have me out of breath most of the time with any exertion. That was what first brought me to Mayo, local doctors couldn’t figure out what was causing it. For me the tightness was attributed to my lungs being so compromized by the IPF. Mayo found my lung function at 48% which made my chest feel tight when trying to get enough air in. Hope this helps.
