Thanks for your quetion on HCM.
NSIP (Non Specific Interstitial Pneumonia) is treatable condition. Bit treatment lasts long. Upto 5-6 months. Your treatment is upto the standard protocol. So stic to this treatment. And for post procedure pneumothorax , I will advice you to take oxygen and proper rest. Repeat chest x ray after 4 days. If worsening than you may need Intercostal drain.
And it is wise to stay here only and avoid any air travel during 2-3 months atleast.
With pneumothorax, it is life theatening to fly.
