Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis and Hoarse Voice

Posted by frane1939 @frane1939, Dec 31, 2018

I am curious about the hoarseness my husband is having. It seems to be getting worse and at times, it is difficult for me to understand him when he speaks. I am wondering if others with this disease are having the same issues; and, if so, what they are doing if anything about it.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Lung Health Support Group.

I don't think so - the doc has never mentioned it. I don't go by that much - only if she says [better, worse, about the same]. Same with my other health issues - my body will never be perfect, I'm just hoping it lasts until I don't need it any more.

Well I've heard if after 2 years they havent spread, they probably wont. Was laughing at myself thinking my anxiety is so crazy how would I know if my shortness of breath is due to anxiety or scar growth? I do hate that I worry so much.
Speaking of which. I've been waiting to speak with this "lung scarring specialist " since May 10. And today is the day! She should be calling in about an hour.
