But there is really no easy answer to your question. Without having a diagnosis of the exact lung condition no one would be able to answer about treatment, it effectiveness, and/or stopping progression.
Asthma (even adult onset from AI disease) is treatable. Interstitial lung disease is different based upon BOTH severity and what is the underlining AI condition. Without more info, it's impossible to guess.
Let's reassess your question after you get more results.

Hi en bloc,
No need to apologize.
My appointment with the pulmo will be in July 23. The waiting is a torture.
The pulmo gave me a note on his prescription pad which says:
" Breathing test today shows some trend to reduced airflow; also it shows some restrictive to your breathing. We will review CT scan. We will check labwork for "arthritis" like reasons for restrictive of your lungs."
I read the difference between Obstructive and Restrictive Lung Diseases. I am so concerned that it seems I have both. I feel like fainting due anxiety.
I feel like I am boxed against the wall.
