Are there any restrictions like travelling, doing pranayama while taking medication for ILD?
Patient: I am 57 year old recently diagnosed with I L D. I have been put on dosage of Wysolone 10 mg one per day. ,Mucinac 1 tab three times a day. Serflo caps( 500mg) two times a day. I suffer from controlled hypertension and do not have diabetes. Treatment has started 7 days back and i feel better. I want to know what kind of precautions do i need to take. is there any travel restriction?. Whether i can do pranayam etc(Yoga). which i used to do earlier. Doctor: Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic. I can understand your concern. You are taking wysolone. This is oral steroid. Oral steroids are known to cause immunosuppression. So possibility of infection is high in your case. So traveling in crowded area, visiting hospitals etc should be avoided to prevent infection. Eat Healthy food like fruits, vegetables, start multivitamin and antioxidants tablet to improve your immunity. Yes, you should definitely do yoga and pranayam. Both are good for health. Better to enroll yourself in Pulmonary Rehabilitation center where chest physiotherapy and deep breathing exercises are done. These will improve your lung functions. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
