Is pulmonary fibrosis painful?

Pulmonary fibrosis is a condition in which lung tissue becomes damaged and scarred over time, which can make it difficult to breathe. The scarring can also lead to other symptoms such as coughing, fatigue, and weight loss. While pulmonary fibrosis itself may not be painful, some people with the condition may experience discomfort or chest pain due to the strain on their respiratory system or related medical conditions. It’s important to discuss any symptoms or concerns you may have with your healthcare provider for proper evaluation and management.
