Is Passing Bile Common For Pulmonary Fibrosis?

My mom suddenly passed away while she was sitting at her bed, a last soft gasp of air. Her eyes were still opened, immediately we lifted her legs. My father tried to do CPR whiting less than 3 minutes she had bled from her nostrils and had vomited a bile. The last 3 months of her life she was diagnosed with Pulmonary Fibrosis, the hospital overdosed her with cortisone injections. She was bleeding for several months, except the day of her passing. Doctors questioned 11 months earlier whether she had Lymphoma, Hodgkin. Doctors were puzzled, my mom suffered for her last 11 months. Was her bleeding after passing and bile coming typical for her situation?

Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Pulmonary fibrosis itself can not cause bleeding from nose or bilious vomiting.
She has been given excessive steroids.
So this can cause gastric ulcers, gastroparesis and gastritis.
All these can cause vomiting, bleeding etc.
So mostly excessive steroid injection and it's side effects is cause of her bilious vomiting and bleeding.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further.
Thanks.
