Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your situation and problem.
You are having fibrosis in lung. And this can cause chronic bronchitis.
This is the most common cause for shortness of breath in these patients.
So better to get done PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) for the diagnosis of bronchitis.
It will also tell you about severity of the disease.
And treatment of bronchitis is based on severity only.
You may need inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS).
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
