What Does IPF Feel Like?

There is a campaign to help raise awareness on IPF World called Blowing Soap Bubbles.

This is the reasoning behind their campaign, “Blowing soap bubbles is a joyful activity. When you are healthy, it takes less than a second to blow bubbles. If you are a patient with IPF, this simple activity can be very challenging. The Breath of Hope Campaign aims to raise awareness of IPF while reminding about the importance of lung fitness/health.
Blowing soap bubbles can be done alone or in a group/with your family/with your doctor/with your pet – one can blow big or small bubbles; one can blow them from a special location or while doing an activity.”

I imagine that blowing bubbles when you have IPF is like blowing bubbles that are really heavy, as if they are made of ice.
