Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on HCM.
Sarcoidosis is chronic disease affecting lung. It is having on-off course. You need to get done PFT (Pulmonary Function Test ) and CT THORAX regularly at the interval of 6 months to know the course of the disease. And tapering steroids is the only treatment available.
So at present you should first consult pulmonologist and get done PFT and CT THORAX. If worsening ot disease is present (possibility of this is more) than you may need steroids again.
So consult pulmonologist and discuss all these.
