Familial Pulmonary Fibrosis explained

[@DrStefanCristianStanel]

I started another channel dedicated to lung fibrosis and Interstitial Lung Diseases (ILD) if you are interested: www.youtube.com/@InterstitialLungDisease

Bingo! you just described me..69 yrs old.. cac scan 2 yrs ago showed lung fibrosis.. never smoked no history of exposure to environmental causes.. my younger brother discovered same scarring very recently.. refrerred to specialist.. his diagnosis was probably familial.. referred to genetic counciling/testing next month..So far i am in very good condition, cat scan shows no additional deterioration from original 2 yrs ago..i exercise weight lift to utter exhaustion.. the drs are pleasantly surprised and have described my exercise capacity as enourmous considering my age.. i believe my dedication to fitness has helped make my pulmonary functions much more efficient than an average sedentary 70 yr old..

Great comment, thanks for posting this. It actually inspired me to make another video based on it, which is available here if you want to check it out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mnfGZ3ijp7-Kgqs

Im worried because, even though im only early 30s, my father, uncle, grandmother (all related) & now grandfather on my mothers side have all been diagnosed or died from this. I have a history of smoking and only recently gave up vaping. I have debated whether to get genetically tested or to have a scan.

voi mai face si in limba romana, dar ma concentrez o perioada sa dezvolt si canalul youtube in limba engleza. Am mult mai multe videoclipuri pe canalul in limba romana
