The most common symptoms of pulmonary fibrosis are dry, persistent cough, shortness of breath, and fatigue. It’s often a “progressive” disease, which means that it worsens over time. As PF progresses, patients may become breathless while taking part in everyday activities, such as showering, getting dressed, speaking on the phone, or even eating. | Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation

Cough is one of the most common symptoms of PF. Studies estimate that people with PF can cough anywhere from 200-500 times per day. | Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation
