How is asbestosis treated?
Treating asbestosis aims to manage symptoms and preserve function in your lungs. Your treatment depends on the severity of the disease. Your options might include:
- Oxygen therapy: Receiving extra oxygen through a mask or tube in your nostrils help you breathe more comfortably.
- Pulmonary rehabilitation: Exercises and behavioral changes can improve your daily functioning.
- Lung transplant surgery: In rare cases, a new, healthy lung from a lung transplant can relieve symptoms and prolong life.
