Hi, Pulmonary fibrosis. I hope you must have known well about this Pulmonary fibrosis by now. it's an irreversible condition. Only way out is to do regular breathing exercises and try to do as much as possible. Doing costal breathing exercises will also help. For more details on exercise you can ask a cardio Pulmonary physical therapist. For the muscle atrophy you need to go through some tests once advised by a physician. But in general any weakness of muscle can be helped by doing some regular free exercises. As exercise helps the muscles and the Pulmonary system as well.
