Oxygen therapy in Sarcoidosis
Sarcoidosis can lead to severe lung scarring (pulmonary fibrosis). It can also sometimes be associated with pulmonary hypertension. These can significantly impact lung function and cause a drop in oxygen levels, particularly during exertion.
Oxygen saturation levels (SpO2) can be monitored using an oximeter, and values below 90% warrant a check of blood oxygen levels. This can be done through blood gas analysis from the earlobe or an arterial blood sample. If oxygen levels are indeed low, supplemental oxygen therapy may be prescribed to improve oxygen levels, reduce the risk of complications, and potentially enhance exercise tolerance.
However, it's worth noting that oxygen therapy may not alleviate all symptoms of breathlessness.
Regular follow-ups and additional tests, including imaging and lung function assessments, are crucial to monitor the progression of the disease and manage any potential complications, such as cardiac involvement. Patients experiencing palpitations at rest, or randomly occurring, should inform their doctors, who may recommend further tests like a Holter ECG or cardiac PET to assess heart function and rule out cardiac sarcoidosis.
Pulmonary rehabilitation and optimization of other treatments, such as those for other heart and lung conditions, may be beneficial.

Understanding drug induced ILD / pulmonary fibrosis
Переглядів 9782 місяці тому
An overview of drug induced interstitial lung disease / pulmonary fibrosis. This video explains how the connection between a certain medication and pulmonary fibrosis is made. Several drugs can induce lung reactions and fibrosis, but unless we have a clear timeline it can be very hard to confidently say it was a specific drug that caused the fibrosis. Remember there may be other causes for pulm...
Interstitial Lung Abnormalities (ILA) = early pulmonary fibrosis?

Why would breathing suddenly start to worsen for people who have pulmonary fibrosis? This can be the sign of worsening fibrosis (scarring of the lungs), but often there are some other factors involved (other medical problems).

In addition to all me and my brother non smoker, never got exposed to smoke , bird etc,I watch your video because they are very informative and helpful and offcourse I will be glad if some treatment available for me.

    I'm 73 and got IPF from a Covid attack. My CT scans are not good and are not getting better over time. Right after I got IPF I also had a heart attack two days later. I had been going to the gym just about every day and my cardiologist told my family after he inserted SIX stents that he had no idea how I was still alive other than I was in excellent shape other than my heart - which he had now fixed, even upgraded. Now my only hope is research scientists coming up with a cure for Pulmonary Fibrosis. Since they fixed sickle cell I suspect a similar fix with CRISPR and nanoparticles might be the research path. I just wish there were a well-maintained database listing all current research and clinical trial future possibilities. I would be a candidate.

    Oh wow I JUST found your channel. Subscribed and watched a few already and will dive in more. My husband, a lifetime smoker, and has fed on ant acids all his life for heartburn, well… Last Nov they found Esophageal cancer. (lower part.) Thankfully treatment was successful, no cancer anymore. And he had quit smoking last Sept. Now the doctors prescribed high strength ant acids… meanwhile only in the past year I learned ANT acids are the polar opposite of what you should do. I said start taking apple cider vinegar. Good advice but bad timing. Between the treatment and the cancer, that gave him a bleeding ulcer. So ok, back on the ant acids. Meanwhile now he has emphysema and fibrosis (lower part of his lungs.) He’s always had the smokers cough, but it’s worse now, and the phlem he hacks up is much thicker and slimier. He gets winded just walking to the mail box. Though he is doing better, gotta do more the doctor said today. Anyway his doctor first said because of the cancer he is NOT a candidate for lung transplant. TRANSPLANT? First line of defense is replace an organ? Right there I lost trust. Then he prescribed something called ofev. Not only expensive BUT the list of side effects, include liver damage, kidney damage, etc etc etc. Insurance will pay for it but neither of his think this is a great idea. Today we saw his cancer doctor, and HE explained to me that since he’s been on ant acids for so long, that his stomach lining may not be tough enough to hand normal stomach acid levels. Your thoughts? (Trust me, I know you cannot diagnose anyone this way, I won’t hold any online doctor accountable. Just looking for info to go to our doctors with. Only asking your opinion in general based on a tiny bit of info here.) We meet with his gastro doctor in a few months. Side note, I have learned a TON from doctors such as yourself on youtube. THANK YOU! I have already taken myself off an array of drugs for type 2 diabetes, BP, yea. ALL gave me side effects. Dr. Eric Berg on youtube is where I learned about the keto diet and started that just over a year ago. Lost weight, got my energy back, NO MORE damn drugs! A1c started at 10, down to 7 only two weeks into the diet change. 5 the last time I had it checked. So I know the diet works. And why I got in this shape to begin with. (Seriously our diet in this country is shit. And that is being nice.)

    Hi, thank you for this! In 2021, I was in ICU for 35 days from delta covid. That strain was the hardest on the lungs. Oxygen for 7 months. Recently diagnosed with PF, with issues on the upper lobes. This lead to sensitivity blood work resulting in very high levels of 5 fungus/molds. Biopsy scheduled soon. Replacing HVAV system soon & have been using allergy meds for quite sometime. Grew up with 2 parents for 18 years of second hand smoke. Mother & grandfather died from lung cancer. Genetics in play for sure. All other blood work is fantastic which I attribute to good eating & nutrients. Of course, the mental strain is huge since covid my body is not the same😢. I have a strong will & very diversified business background but have t worked in over 2 years. Need to find out if my lungs have fungus so I can quickly be treated. Unsure about the 2 anti-fibrotic meds… ad side effects. Question is, has anyone tried nebulizing with L-Glutathione for helping cellular activity in the lungs? Dr Jockers in GA has this product. I’m holding off until I get the biopsy & the results. There has been a clinical trial on this. I’m an advocate for functional medicine & take many things to build up the immune system. Thx for your thoughts!

    Hello doctor my wife has fibrotic nsip and has in the last 2 months been in hospital twice fist time she received oxygen for her breathlessness for a week then was sent home, the second time they gave large dose of steroids and oxygen and this time was sent home with oxygen at home and a portable oxygen for when going out, she is on oxygen all the time and needs it otherwise her oxygen level drops and has been taking steroids for about 6months. They suspect worsening nsip but when I ask them will my wife die from this disease they just tell me we can treat it, the oxygen nurse just said don’t believe what you read on google, google says some people with fibrotic nsip die 5 years after diagnosis some live longer. My wife used to smoke so I assume this may have caused the nsip. My question: can my wife be treated and actually not need oxygen therapy and can this disease go into remission basically can she get better.

    Thank you for this video. My 84 yo father was recently diagnosed. Waiting to see Pulmonoligist. We believe the scarring came from his 40's ... 10+ years of wood sanding (walnut). The scarring is old they say. * He is going downhill... fatique from anything strenuous. He was just placed oxgen for sleeping. My question is, if we get him going with a good Pulmonary Rehab and exercise program (with oyxen) can we stop the spread of the scarring? in other words...Do old 45 years scars get worse? We are not sure that we want to have him take medicine. (risks may outweigh benefits, we are thinking already) Was hoping that he could successful live with what he's got, and make his last years as comfortable as possible through pulm. rebab and O2.
