Mysterious shortness of breath: What has helped you?

Claire,
I had to look up IPF, and am so sorry you have this. Your doctor feels the IPF is related to Covid or the vaccine?
When I read the initial post by Gabe, I found that most of his description matched my symptoms. But, they all pre-dated Covid. I never got the vaccine. I did get Covid in June of this year, and while miserable, it never exacerbated my breathing issues.
I am worried, though, about my lungs, as my father passed from COPD. He was a smoker, and our family home was heated with a wood burning fireplace. Please tell us about your IPF.

Hello  I was very healthy till 2021. I had all my vaccines,  In Sept I got a mild case of Covid.later in the year  2022 I was in the hospital twice. My second visit I had to have my right kidney removed. Invasive Cancer. It went down hill after that. I am on O2 most of the day time. I have been told by my Cardiologist I am perhaps one of the many who had damage to my lungs due to both Covid and the shot   plus the booster. . I hope you have a great Pulmonologist? Get  a second or third opinion. I have an appt. at the Mayo clinic. for the end of this mo.  I am also taking a med called OFEV. I have just started to take it. Side effects a tough. I will keep you posted.  I wish you the very best. God Bless you I do understand what it feels like not to be able to breath.   Hugs
