[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your fathers situation and problem. Inertial lung disease (OLD) is very broad term. It is actually group of diseases. Amongst OLD, IPF (idiopathic Pulmonary fibrosis) is the most common amongst OLD. And it is having the worst prognosis amongst all OLD. So first confirm with your doctor whether he is having IPF or not. Prognosis of OLD is also depending on severity on PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). So also get done PFT. Newer Chat Doctor.
