Default Interstitial lung disease

how may of you have a dg of this disease or related lung diseases at the same time as mg ,before or after.
I,if you read my posts arrived in hospital as a result of what initially felt like a heart attack with pressure on my chest .
ecg was perfect but oxegen levels were low .
I had been diagnosed with mg at same time .
Concentration has been on the mg and as its another department lung flap diagnosed by ct scan sidelined.
However six courses of antibiotics since have done nothing to stop dry cough and congested lungs
Have now taken myself off all mg medication.
heart rate is raised at 120//minute which gp is getting 24 tester to identify why
Worked all my life as a manager of a Irish Linen Yarn Factory with flax dust which causes lung disease .
I had already asked for referral tp lung department by gp but reading a lot of other people's posts I will point them in this direction.
I have never smoked but as with many other busy people tell yourself that drinking a few glasses of wine every night to relax after a stressful day is not a drinking problem.
Interested to here other people's experiences
