HI . I think i had a chest infection that started about 3 months ago. I wen to the doctor and he gave me antibiotics. they didint do much good. he then gave me steroids. i think they helped a bit but still have chest pains and shortness of breath. i have an appointment with a chest physician in 4 weeks time (earlierst possible appointment). i am worried though because my Mum had pulmonary fibrosis when she died at the age of 80.
