Does anyone else with IPF have hoarsness. My husband gets this when he is too warm (Florida climate) . That is to say, it use to be that, now it does not matter if he is too warm, he gets really hoarse. He does find not speaking tends to help, Thanks, Fran

Fran,
I think you have the perfect marriage!
Sorry, couldn’t let that pass!
Check with a pulmonologist and he may order a throat spray that may help such as
symbecort; then again, it could be something else. Got to check with a throat/ lung doctor but do it now while you’re ahead. Only gets worse!
Good luck! Walt
Have IPF for a few years!
My husband has had the hoarseness for well over a year. It is getting worse however. I suspect IPF was not diagnosed earlier as what I am learning, it is a rare disease. Even though a year ago when he had a TIA, his lung x-ray showed cloudiness in his lungs. They treated him for pneumonia. Just got the news today about the med he will be taking, Anxious to get it started. Good luck Paul

I have had IPF for 18 months. I have just developed hoarseness sometimes. Paul
