Hello and hope you are doing well.
Fibrosis is scar tissue in the lungs. This can occur due to healed infections/inflammations of the lung.
Hope this helped and do keep us posted.

Hi Paderla,
Thank you for your help I thought this was what it was forgot to ask my doctor and didn't want to make an appointment and use up his time for nothing. I do take puffers for Astma so this makes sence.
Thanks again
