Fibrosing Alveolitis

Fibrosing alveolitis is a lung disease in which the tissue between the alveoli becomes inflamed and gradually turns stiffer and scarred, which makes the normal exchange of oxygen more difficult.

Common symptoms:

• Shortness of breath that increases with exertion
• Persistent dry cough
• A feeling of tiring easily

When is it worth getting checked? When difficulty breathing appears gradually and does not improve, or when a dry cough persists for a long time without a clear cause.

The specialist who treats it: The pulmonologist is the one who studies how the lungs work and provides guidance on this type of condition. If you recognize these signs, the wisest thing is to seek a professional evaluation to clarify its origin and follow-up.
