Questions to Ask Your Doctor About Bronchiolitis Obliterans

Making notes before your visit, as well as taking along a trusted family member or friend, can help you through the next appointment with your doctor.

  • How can we be sure that I have bronchiolitis obliterans? Is there anything else it could be?
  • What tests do I need to have to make sure my diagnosis is correct?
  • How severe is my diagnosis?
  • What lifestyle changes do I need to make to manage my disease?
  • What medications would you suggest? What are the side-effects?
  • How often should I have follow-up appointments and tests to ensure that treatment is working?
  • Can you recommend anything that can help me with the emotional toll of having lung disease?
