Would CBD Intake Help While Experiencing Restlessness, Nausea And Anxiety When Diagnosed With Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis?
My husband is diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. We are thinking of trying pirfenidone ( Esbriet). As we await authorization, he continues to be very restless, nausea, and anxious. Would CBD, a form of cannabis be helpful?. At this point we know that he will die. What we need is advice on making him comfortable.

Hello,
According to his diagnosis IPF, he has these signs and symptoms because of difficulty in breathing. Until starting pirfenidone he can use nebulizer with cleanup three times per day. I don’t advise you to give him CBD neck it doesn’t help at all.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
