Fast, Shallow Breathing
In some cases, chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis can scar the lungs, which can lead to serious disease. Earlier symptoms may get worse, and a person can begin to struggle to breathe. Fast, shallow breathing can be a sign that the body is struggling to get adequate oxygen.
Pulmonary fibrosis can be a permanent complication of unmanaged hypersensitivity pneumonitis. While there are ways to manage pulmonary fibrosis, a person should see a doctor and learn how to minimize their hypersensitivity pneumonitis triggers before it can develop.3‘Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis.’ Cleveland Clinic, my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/17898-hypersensitivity-pneumonitis
