Hi @pmgranahan , Cough is, of course, common with any lung issues or surgeries. That said, it can be so very frustrating to live with! Has your doctor offered any suggestions or treatments?

Important to read the summary of pulmonary function tests. If it says restrictive or obstructive issue. Those are two different issues. COPD is obstructive while pulmonary fibrosis is restrictive, and they are not treated the same. My local doctor misinterpreted pulmonary function tests and said I had COPD which I don't.
